Question

Physics Question on Electromagnetic induction

In an AC circuit, the current leads the voltage by π2\frac{\pi}{2} The circuit is _______.
Fill in the blank with the correct answer from the options given below

A

purely resistive

B

should have circuit elements with resistance equal to reactance.

C

purely inductive

D

purely capacitive

Answer

purely capacitive

Explanation

Solution

In a purely capacitive AC circuit, the current leads the voltage by 9090\degree (or π2\frac{\pi}{2} radians), indicating that the circuit is capacitive.
