  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, in pure inductive circuit, Alternating voltage, \(V=V_0 \sin \omega t\) and alternating current, \(I=I_0 \sin (\omega t-\pi / 2)\) From the above two equations, it can be seen that alternative current and EMF differ by \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) phase.
