Solution

The power loss in an AC circuit can be calculated using the formula P = VIcosφ, where V is the voltage, I is the current, and φ is the phase difference between the voltage and the current.

In this case, the current i = 2sinωt and the voltage V = 5cosωt.

The phase difference φ can be determined by comparing the functions of current and voltage. Here, the current is a sine function and the voltage is a cosine function, which means they are phase-shifted by 90 degrees or π/2 radians.

The cosine of π/2 is 0, so the power loss P = VIcosφ = 250 = 0 watt.

So, the power loss in the instrument is zero watt.
