In an a. c. circuit the instantaneous current and e.m.f. are represented as \(i=i_o \sin \left(\omega t-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\) and \(E=E_o \sin \left(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\) respectively. The voltage leads the current by

  1. A \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The phase of the current \(=-\frac{\pi}{6}\)
The phase of voltage \(=+\frac{\pi}{3}\)
Hence the voltage leads current by phase angle
\(\phi=\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)-\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}\)
