MCQ
An A.C. circuit containing only capacitance, the current:
  • A
    Lags the voltage by 90°
  • B
    Leads the voltage by 90°
  • C
    Remains in phase with voltage
  • D
    Lags the voltage by 180°

Answer

  1. Leads the voltage by 90°

Explanation:

In an a.c. circuit containing resistance onIy voltage & current remain in the same phase. If circuit contains inductance only, voltage remains ahead of current by phase difference of 90°. If circuit contains capacitance only, current remains ahead of voltage by a phase difference of 90°.
