In a circuit, the current lags behind the voltage by a phase difference of \(\pi / 2\), the circuit will contain which of the following ?

  1. A Only \(R\)
  2. B Only C
  3. C \(R\) and \(C\)
  4. D Only \(L\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Only \(L\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When a circuit contains inductance only, then the current lags behind the voltage by the phase difference of \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) or \(90^{\circ}\).
While in a purely capacitive circuit, the current leads the voltage by a phase angle of \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) or \(90^{\circ}\). In a purely resistive circuit current is in phase with the applied voltage.
