When an A.C. source is connected to a inductive circuit,
Show Hint
- voltage and current are in same phase.
- voltage is ahead of current in phase.
- the phase between voltage and current depends upon the value of inductance.
- voltage lags behind current in phase.
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
When an A.C. source is connected to an inductive circuit, the current lags behind the voltage. In an inductive circuit, the voltage leads the current because of the property of inductance.
The inductor resists changes in current, which causes the current to lag behind the voltage. The current reaches its peak value after the voltage reaches its peak. Therefore, the voltage is ahead of the current in phase.
Thus, the correct option is B.
