Q154 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (23 Aug Shift 2) · Physics

In an $A C$-circuit containing only capacitance, the current

  • A
    leads the voltage by $180^{\circ}$
  • B
    remains in phase with the voltage
  • Correct answer
    C
    leads the voltage by $90^{\circ}$
  • D
    lags the voltage by $90^{\circ}$

Solution

In an AC-circuit containing only capacitance, the current always leads the voltage by $90^{\circ}$ phase angle.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
