Pure R, L and C Circuits question from NEET 2022 (Phase 2)

Q43NEET 2022 · PHASE 2Easy

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 π\pi.

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

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Statement I: in a capacitor the current leads the voltage (by π2\frac{\pi}{2}). Correct.
  2. Statement II: the phase difference for pure capacitance is π2\frac{\pi}{2}, not π\pi. Incorrect.
  3. So the answer is (d).
