Resistors and Capacitors: Power Analysis

[Duave]

Homework Statement

Show that all the average power delivered to the the circuit winds up in the resistor.

Do this by computing the value of V(R)^2/R.

What is that power, in watts, for a series circuit of a 1uF capacitor and a 1.0k resistor placed across the 110 volt (rms). 60Hz power line.

Did I answer ALL of the questions with everything that I wrote?

You have answered the question.
It seems a tad overdone to me but that could just mean you have been thorough.
However - you have just seen that ideal reactive components dissipate no power.
Well done.

Simon,


Thank you very very much
