Alternating Voltage and alternating current have phase difference of 90° with each other in a circuit called?

Everyday Science / Branch of Science — Multiple-choice practice

  1. A. Both (A) & (B) are true
  2. B. RLC series AC circuit at resonance
  3. C. Pure inductive circuit
  4. D. Pure capacitive circuit

Correct answer

Both (A) & (B) are true

Explanation

Explanation - In a pure capacitive circuit, the current leads the voltage by 90°. - In a pure inductive circuit, the current lags behind the voltage by 90°. - In both cases, there is a 90° phase difference between current and voltage
