Pure R, L and C Circuits

Given below are two statements

Statement I: In an a.c circuit, the current through a capacitor leads the voltage across it. Statement II: In a.c circuit containing pure capacitance only, the phase difference between the current and voltage is $\pi$ .

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

Statement I: in a capacitor the current leads the voltage (by $\frac{\pi}{2}$ ). Correct.
Statement II: the phase difference for pure capacitance is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ , not $\pi$ . Incorrect.
So the answer is (d).
