A 200 V, 50 Hz supply is connected to a resistance (R) of 20 Ω in series with an iron cored choke coil (r in series with L). The readings of the voltmeters connected across the resistance and the coil are 120 V and 150 V respectively. Find the resistance “r” of the coil (in ohms). Also find the power lost in the coil (in watts)

Voltmeter connected across Resistor reads RMS voltage across resistor.
 
Hence RMS current in the circuit = RMS voltage / resistance = 120 V / 20 Ω = 6 A
 
Voltmeter connected across inductor reads RMS voltage across inductor.
 
Hence Inductive reactance XL = RMS voltage / RMS current = 150 V / 6 A = 25 Ω
 
Power delivered to circuit = V × I × cosΦ 
 
where V = 200  volt is the RMS voltage of power supply , I = 6 A is RMS current delivered to circuit and cosΦ is the power factor.
 
Φ = tan-1 ( XL / R )  = tan-1 ( 25/20 ) = 51.34
 
Power delivered to circuit  =  200  × 6 × cos(51.34)  ≈ 750 W
 
Power dissipated in resistor = 120 V  × 6 A = 720 W
 
Hence power lost in Inductor = ( 750 - 720 ) W = 30 W
