प्रश्न

Show that the current leads the voltage in phase by π/2 in an AC circuit containing an ideal capacitor ?

उत्तर

Let us consider a capacitor C connected to an AC source as shown below.

 Let the AC voltage applied be

`v = v_msinωt`

`∴ v = q/C`

Applying Kirchhoff’s loop rule, we have:

` v_msinωt  q/C`

`i = (dq)/dt`

`∴ i = (d)/dt( v_mCsinωt) `

`ωCv_mcos(ωt)`

`cos ωt = sinωt+π/2`

`∴ i = i_msin(ωt+π/2)`

`i_m = ωCv_m`

`i =(v_m)/((1/(ωC)))`

Hence, the current leads the voltage in phase by π/2.
