21. Calculate the useful power developed by a motor using the given data: Pin = 10 W, Ia = .6 A, Ra=.2 Ω. Assume frictional losses are 2 W and windage losses are 3 W.
A. 4.928 W
B. 1.955 W
C. 1.485 W
D. 1.488 W
Answer: A
Useful power is basically the shaft power developed by the motor that can be calculated using the formula
Psh = Pdev-(rotational losses).
Pdev = Pin-Ia2Ra = 10-.62(.2)=9.92 W.
The useful power developed by the motor is
Psh = Pdev-(rotational losses) = 9.92 –(5) = 4.928 W.

D. 4654 W
Answer: C
The inductor is a linear element. It only absorbs reactive power and stores it in the form of oscillating energy.
The voltage and current are 90° in phase in the case of the inductor so the angle between V & I is 90°.
