Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 4

Question: An alternating e.m.f. is applied to purely capacitive circuit. The phase relation between e.m.f. and current flowing in the circuit is or In a circuit containing capacitance only [MP PET 1996; AIIMS 1997]

Options:

A) e.m.f. is ahead of current by p / 2

B) Current is ahead of e.m.f. by p / 2

C) Current lags behind e.m.f. by p

D) Current is ahead of e.m.f. by p

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

For purely capacitive circuit e=e0sinωt i=iosin(ωt+π2) i.e. current is ahead of emf by π2
