In a circuit, the current lags behind the voltage by a phase difference of / 2 , the circuit will contain which of the following ?
Options
- AOnly R
- BOnly C
- CR and C
- DOnly L
Correct answer
D. Only L
Step-by-step solution
When a circuit contains inductance only, then the current lags behind the voltage by the phase difference of 2 or 90^ . While in a purely capacitive circuit, the current leads the voltage by a phase angle of 2 or 90^ . In a purely resistive circuit current is in phase with the applied voltage.
