Alternating current through an inductor ...

Alternating current through an inductor lags behind the alternating voltage by `90^(@)`. What does it imply ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It implies that at a given time, whatever is the value of alternating e.m.f. current will acquire that value after `t = T//4`.
