Question

Consider the following statements related to electric circuits:
A. Leading and lagging current are phenomena that occur as a result of direct current.
B. In the case of a circuit having only resistances, the voltages and currents are in phase
C. In a purely capacitive circuit, the current will lead the voltage
D. In a purely inductive circuit, the current will lag the voltage
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A and B only
• B. C and D only
• C. B, C and D only
• D. A, C and D only

Hint:

Use the classic mnemonic CIVIL to remember phase relationships:
- In a Capacitor, I (current) leads V (voltage) \(\rightarrow\) CIV.
- V (voltage) leads I (current) in an Linductor \(\rightarrow\) VIL.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
