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 Circuit s. Current lags voltage by 90^\circ
Select the correct matching option :
| 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 Circuit | s. Current lags voltage by 90^\circ |
