In the graphical representation of e.m.f. ' $e$ ' and current ' $i$ ' versus ' $\omega \mathrm{t}$ ' for an a.c. circuit, both emf and current reach zero, minimum and maximum value at the same time. The circuit element connected to the source will be
  1. pure capacitor
  2. combination of capacitor and inductor
  3. pure resistor
  4. pure inductor

Solution

Since the current and emf are in phase the circuit is purely resistive.
