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

Answer

Correct option: B.
Leads the voltage by $90^\circ $

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^\circ $. If circuit contains capacitance only, current remains ahead of voltage by a phase difference of $90^\circ .$
