NEET Physics AC Voltage MCQ Question
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?

φ is positive and the circuit is predominantly capacitive.
φ is zero and the circuit is purely resistive.
φ is negative and the circuit is predominantly inductive.
φ is undefined as there is no phase difference.
Correct Answer
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.
