प्रश्न
In an AC series circuit, the instantaneous currt is zero when the instantaneous voltage is maximum. Connected to the source may be a
(a) pure inductor
(b) pure capacitor
(c) pure resistor
(d) combination of an inductor and a capacitor
उत्तर
(a) pure inductor
(b) pure capacitor
(d) combination of an inductor and a capacitor.
For a pure inductive circuit, voltage leads the current by 90°. So, the instantaneous current is zero when the instantaneous voltage is maximum.
Similar is the case with a purely capacitive circuit, in which, current leads the voltage by 90°
Also, in a circuit containing a combination of inductor and capacitor, the current may lead or lag the voltage by 90°, depending upon whether the voltage across the inductor or the capacitor is greater. Here too, there is a phase difference of 90° between the voltage and current. Hence, the the instantaneous current is zero when the instantaneous voltage is maximum.
