Given below are two statements:
Statement-I:
In an a.c. circuit, the current through a capacitor leads the voltage across it.
Statement-II:
In a.c. circuits containing pure capacitance only, the phase difference between the current and the voltage is $\pi$ :
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Both statement-I and statement-II are correct
Both statement-I and statement-II are incorrect
Statement-I is correct but statement-II is incorrect
Statement-I is incorrect but statement-II is correct
Solution
In pure capacitive circuits, the current leads the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$ or $90^{\circ}$.
