NEET Physics AC Voltage MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12

In the diagram shown above, if the capacitive reactance X_C is greater than the inductive reactance X_L, which of the following statements about the phase angle φ is true?

Question diagram
A

φ is positive and the circuit is predominantly capacitive.

B

φ is zero and the circuit is purely resistive.

C

φ is negative and the circuit is predominantly inductive.

D

φ is undefined as there is no phase difference.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the NCERT context, if X_C > X_L, the phase angle φ is positive, indicating that the circuit is predominantly capacitive.
