In a circuit containing a pure resistor connected to an AC source,

Options

  1. AVoltage leads the current by 90^
  2. BCurrent leads the voltage by 90^
  3. CVoltage and current are in same phase with each other
  4. DCurrent leads the voltage by 180^

Correct answer

C. Voltage and current are in same phase with each other

Step-by-step solution

In a purely resistive AC circuit, the alternating voltage is given by V = V₀ ( t) . According to Ohm's law, the current through the resistor is I = V R = V₀ R ( t) = I₀ ( t) . Comparing the expressions for voltage and current, the phase angle for both is t . Thus, the phase difference between them is zero. Therefore, voltage and current are in the same phase with each other. Answer: Voltage and current are in same phase with each other
