An inductor of inductance L and resistor of resistance R are joined in series and connected by a source of frequency $ \omega $ power dissipated in the circuit is,
The power dissipated in an AC circuit with a resistor (R) and inductor (L) in series is given by the formula:
$$ P = \frac{V^2 R}{Z^2} $$
where \( Z \) is the impedance of the circuit, which is given by \( Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (\omega L)^2} \). Substituting \( Z^2 \) into the formula, we get:
$$ P = \frac{V^2 R}{R^2 + (\omega L)^2} $$
Thus, the correct option is:
$$ \frac{V^2 R}{(R^2 + \omega^2 L^2)} $$
