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

A

only `R`

B

only `C`

C

`R` and `C`

D

only `L`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

When c circuit contains inductance only, then the current lags behind the voltage by the phase difference
of `(pi)/(2)` or `90^(@)`.
While in a purely capacitive circuit, the current leads the volatge by a phase angle of `(pi)/(2)` or `90^(@)`.
In a purely resistive circuit is in phase with the applied voltage.
