Pure R, L and C Circuits

When a.c. source is connected across a pure capacitor, the correct phase relation between current and emf is shown in figure.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

For a pure capacitor, current leads emf by $\frac{\pi}{2}$ .
With anticlockwise rotation, $I_c$ must be $90^\circ$ anticlockwise from $e_c$ .
Figure (B): $e_c$ along the right, $I_c$ straight up, so $I_c$ leads by $90^\circ$ .
So the answer is (c), figure (B).
