Solution:
According to the problem, XL = 1Ω, R = 2Ω,
Erms = 6V, Pav = ?
Average power dissipated in the circuit
$\text{P}_\text{av}=\text{E}_\text{rms}\text{I}_\text{rms}\cos\phi \ .....(\text{i})$
$\text{I}_\text{rms}=\frac{\text{E}_\text{rms}}{\text{Z}}$
$\text{Z}=\sqrt{\text{R}^2+\text{X}^2_\text{L}}$
$=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt{5}$
$\text{I}_\text{rms}=\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}\text{A}$
$\cos\phi=\frac{\text{R}}{\text{Z}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$
$\text{P}_\text{av}=6\times\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}\times\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\ \ [\text{from Eq. (i)]}$
$=\frac{72}{\sqrt{5}\sqrt{5}}=\frac{72}{5}=14.4\text{W}$
