Given below are two statements: Statement-I: In an a.c. circuit, the current through a capacitor leads the voltage across it. Statement-II: In a.c. circuits containing pure capacitance only, the phase difference between the current and the voltage is π\pi : In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. ABoth statement-I and statement-II are correct
  2. BBoth statement-I and statement-II are incorrect
  3. CStatement-I is correct but statement-II is incorrect
  4. DStatement-I is incorrect but statement-II is correct

Correct answer

C. Statement-I is correct but statement-II is incorrect

Step-by-step solution

In pure capacitive circuits, the current leads the voltage by π2\frac{\pi}{2} or 90∘90^{\circ}.
