Question

In A.C. circuits, one of the following statements is incorrect
Options
A Voltage and current are in phase in a purely resistive circuit
B Voltage leads current in a purely inductive circuit
C Voltage leads current in a purely capacitive circuit
Correct Answer
D Phase relationships depend on relative magnitudes of components’ opposition
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In purely capacitive circuit, current leads voltage by 90° (voltage lags current). Statement C says voltage leads current — false.
