The correct answer is: $\frac{\mathrm{E}_{0}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{R}}$
$\mathrm{E}=\mathrm{E}_{0} \sin \omega \mathrm{t}$
$P=\frac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{I_{0}}{\sqrt{2}} \cos \theta$
$=\frac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{2} Z} \times \frac{R}{Z}$
$=\frac{E_{0}^{2} R}{2 Z^{2}} \quad \quad Z^{2}=R^{2}+\omega L^{2}=2 R^{2}$
$=\frac{E_{0}^{2} R}{4 R^{2}}=\frac{E_{0}^{2}}{4 R}$
