NEET Physics AC Voltage MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12

Refer to the diagram of the AC voltage across an inductor and capacitor. If the current through the capacitor leads the voltage by π/2, what is the phase difference between the voltage across the inductor and the capacitor?

Question diagram
A

π radians

B

π/2 radians

C

0 radians

D

π/4 radians

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In the context of AC circuits, the current through a capacitor leads the voltage by π/2 while the current through an inductor lags the voltage by π/2. Therefore, the phase difference between the voltage across an inductor and a capacitor is π radians.
