Question: ( a ) Use Figs. 3 1 . 1 3 b and 3 1 . 1 3 c to show that for a series L

(a) Use Figs. 31.13b and 31.13c to show that for a series
L-R-C circuit, V cosf = IR. Use this result in Eq.(31.31) to show that
the average power delivered by the source is Pav =1
2 I2R. Therefore the
average power delivered by the source is equal to the average power con-
sumed by the resistor. This means the average power for the capacitor
and for the inductor is zero. These circuit elements consume electrical
energy during the part of the current oscillations when they are storing
energy, but all the stored energy in each is then released during another
part of the current oscillations. (b) In an L-R-C series circuit the ampli-
tude of the source voltage is 120 V, the source voltage leads the current
by 53.1, and the average power supplied by the source is 80.0 W. What
is the resistance R of the resistor in the circuit
