Question

In an Alternating Current (AC) circuit, the phase relationship between current and voltage depends on the circuit elements. Match the entries in Column - I with the appropriate relations in Column - II.
Column - I (Type of Circuit)Column - II (Phase Relationship between Current and Voltage)
i. Pure Resistance (R)p. Current leads voltage by 90^\circ
ii. Pure Capacitance (C)q. Current and voltage are in same phase
iii. Pure Inductance (L)r. Current and voltage may not be in same phase
iv. R - L - C Series Circuits. Current lags voltage by 90^\circ
