NEET Physics AC Voltage MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about AC voltage in capacitive and inductive circuits is correct?
In a capacitive circuit, current leads voltage by π/2.
In an inductive circuit, voltage leads current by π/2.
The average power in a capacitive circuit is always positive.
In both circuits, the current and voltage are in phase at all times.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a capacitive circuit, the current leads the voltage by π/2, while in an inductive circuit, the current lags the voltage by π/2. The average power in a capacitive circuit can be zero over a complete cycle, and in both circuits, current and voltage are not in phase.
