Consider a capacitor and resistor connected in series to a sinusoidal voltage source. The voltage across the capacitor lags the voltage across the resistor by an angle θ degrees. What is the value of θ?
Consider a capacitor and resistor connected in series to a sinusoidal voltage source. The voltage across the capacitor lags the voltage across the resistor by an angle θ degrees. What is the value of θ? Correct Answer +90
In series RC circuit, the same current flows through R and C.
Let the current is I, voltage across capacitor and resistor are VC and VR respectively.
I is in phase with voltage across resistor (VR) and leads the voltage across capacitor (VC) by 90°.
Hence voltage across resistor (VR) leads the voltage across capacitor (VC) by 90°.
In other words, the voltage across the capacitor lags the resistor voltage by 90°.
