MCQ
A capacitor is connected to an A.C. circuit, then the phase difference between current and the voltage is:
  • A
    $\pi$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{-\pi}{2}$
  • D
    $\text{Zero}$

Answer

  1. $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Explanation:

Current leads voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\therefore$ phase difference is $=\frac{\pi}{2}$
