MHT CET · Physics · Alternating Current
In a purely inductive circuit, the current is
- A in phase with the voltage
- B out of phase with the voltage
- C leads the voltage by \(\pi / 2\)
- D lags behind the voltage by \(\pi / 2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) lags behind the voltage by \(\pi / 2\)
Step-by-step Solution
