Question
In a circuit, containing a capacitor and an AC source, the current is zero at the instant the source voltage is maximum. Is it consistent with Ohm's Law?
Solution
Ohm's Law is valid for resistive circuits only. It is not valid for capacitive or inductive circuits, or a combination of both.
