Question

If AC voltage is applied to a pure capacitor, then the voltage across the capacitor ______  

Options

• Leads the current by phase angle π rad.

• Leads the current by phase π/2 rad.

• Lags the current by phase angle π rad.

• Lags the current by phase angle π/2 rad.

Answer 1

If AC voltage is applied to a pure capacitor, then the voltage across the capacitor Lags the current by phase angle π/2 rad.
