The solution

Solved with SeriesLcr

Given

$v_{m} = 283$ V
$ν = 50$ Hz
$R = 3$ Ω
$L = 25.48$ mH
$C = 796$ μF

Find $P$ .

Working

$L = 25.48$ mH $= 0.02548$ H
$C = 796$ μF $= 7.96 \times 10^{−4}$ F
reactance of an inductor(circuit) $X_{L} = 2 \cdot π \cdot ν \cdot L$
$X_{L} = 2 \cdot 3.14159265 \cdot 50 \cdot 0.02548$
$X_{L} = 8.00477808$ Ω
reactance of a capacitor(circuit) $X_{C} = \frac{1}{2 \cdot π \cdot ν \cdot C}$
$X_{C} = \frac{1}{2 \cdot 3.14159265 \cdot 50 \cdot 7.96 \times 10^{−4}}$
$X_{C} = 3.99886792$ Ω
impedance of a series circuit(circuit) $Z^{2} = R^{2} + {(X_{L} - X_{C})}^{2}$
$Z^{2} = 3^{2} + {(8.00477808 - 3.99886792)}^{2}$
$Z = 5.00472939$ Ω
peak is root two times rms(circuit) $v_{m} = \sqrt{2} \cdot V$
$283 = \sqrt{2} \cdot V$
$V = 200.111219$ V
current through the impedance(circuit) $V = I \cdot Z$
$200.111219 = I \cdot 5.00472939$
$I = 39.9844234$ A
power spent in the resistance(circuit) $P = I^{2} \cdot R$
$P = {39.9844234}^{2} \cdot 3$
$P = 4796$ W
$P \approx 4.8 \times 10^{3}$ Wto 2 significant figures

Conclusion

Only the resistance spends power; the inductor and the capacitor store energy and hand it back each cycle.
