The instantaneous values of current and voltage in an AC circuit are given by \(I=6 \sin \left(100 \pi t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\) and \(V=5 \sin \left(100 \pi t-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\), then

  1. A voltage leads the current by \(45^{\circ}\)
  2. B current leads the voltage by \(45^{\circ}\)
  3. C voltage leads the current by \(90^{\circ}\)
  4. D current leads the voltage by \(90^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) current leads the voltage by \(90^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The phase difference between instantaneous value of \(I\) and \(V\) is
\(\Delta \phi=\frac{\pi}{4}-\left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}\)
Hence, the current leads voltage by \(90^{\circ}\)
