$P=E \times I$
$= E _0 \sin \omega t \times I _0 \sin \left(\omega t-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$
$= E _0 \sin \omega t \times\left[- I _0 \cos \omega t\right]$
$\because \sin \left(\theta-90^{\circ}\right)$ is $=\cos \theta$
$=- E _0 I _0 \sin \omega t \cos \omega t$
or $P =\frac{- E _0 I _0}{2} \times 2 \sin \omega t \cos \omega t$
$=-\frac{ E _0 I _0}{2} \times \sin 2 \omega t$
$[\because \sin 2 A=2 \sin A \cos A ]$
The average value of $\sin \omega t$ in a complete cycle is zero, that is
$\overline{\sin 2 \omega t}=\frac{\int_0^{ T } 2 \sin \omega t d t}{\int_0^{ T } d t}=0$
Therefore the average power of the circuit in one complete cycle
$P=\frac{E_0 I_0}{2} \times 0=0$
Therefore, the average power supplied to the inductance in a complete cycle is zero.
(b) Given, that $R =24 \Omega, X _{ L }=110 \Omega, X _{ C }=110 \Omega$
$Z =\sqrt{ R ^2+\left( X _{ L }^2- X _{ C }^2\right)^2}$
$X _{ L }= X _{ C }=100 \Omega$
$Z =\sqrt{(24)^2+(0)^2}$
$Z=24$
$P=E \times I$
$= E _0 \sin \omega t \times I _0 \sin \left(\omega t-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$
$= E _0 \sin \omega t \times\left[- I _0 \cos \omega t\right]$
$\because \sin \left(\theta-90^{\circ}\right)$ is $=\cos \theta$
$=- E _0 I _0 \sin \omega t \cos \omega t$
or $P =\frac{- E _0 I _0}{2} \times 2 \sin \omega t \cos \omega t$
$=-\frac{ E _0 I _0}{2} \times \sin 2 \omega t$
$[\because \sin 2 A=2 \sin A \cos A ]$
The average value of $\sin \omega t$ in a complete cycle is zero, that is
$\overline{\sin 2 \omega t}=\frac{\int_0^{ T } 2 \sin \omega t d t}{\int_0^{ T } d t}=0$
Therefore the average power of the circuit in one complete cycle
$P=\frac{E_0 I_0}{2} \times 0=0$
Therefore, the average power supplied to the inductance in a complete cycle is zero.
(b) Given, that $R =24 \Omega, X _{ L }=110 \Omega, X _{ C }=110 \Omega$
$Z =\sqrt{ R ^2+\left( X _{ L }^2- X _{ C }^2\right)^2}$
$X _{ L }= X _{ C }=100 \Omega$
$Z =\sqrt{(24)^2+(0)^2}$
$Z=24$
