With reference to the given figure, if a wattmeter current coil is connected to series impedance Z1 and Z2 potential coil connected across Z2, then the wattmeter shows, 

With reference to the given figure, if a wattmeter current coil is connected to series impedance Z1 and Z2 potential coil connected across Z2, then the wattmeter shows,  Correct Answer Power consumed by Z<sub>2</sub>

Concept:

Wattmeter reads the power and it is given by

P = VPC ICC cos ϕ

VPC is the voltage across pressure coil

ICC is current flows through the current coil

ϕ is the phase angle between VPC and ICC

Application:

The circuit representation of the given question is as shown below.

  • The potential coil is connected across Z2.
  • It reads the voltage across Z2 only.
  • So, Wattmeter reads only power consumed by Z2.
