MDCAT Physics MCQ #162

  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 50 Hz AC generator produces a voltage of 220 V. If the current through a 10 Ω resistor is 5 A, what is the power consumed?

    • A) 10 W
    • B) 50 W
    • C) 100 W
    • D) 110 W

    Answer: 110 W

    Explanation: The correct answer is 110 W because P = V * I * cos(θ), and cos(θ) is approximately 1 for a resistive load. Option A assumes θ is 90°, option B assumes θ is 0°, and option C assumes θ is 45°.
