Question 440: AC fundamentals

Question

Given below are two statements
Statement I : In an a.c circuit, the current through a capacitor leads the voltage across it.
Statement II : In a.c circuit containing pure capacitance only, the phase difference between the current and voltage is $\pi$.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Accepted Answer

$V = {V_0}\sin \omega t$
$V = {q \over C}$
$q = CV\sin \omega t$
${{dq} \over {dt}} = CV{d \over {dt}}\sin \omega t$
$i = CV\omega \cos \omega t$
$i = CV\omega \sin \left( {\omega t + {\pi  \over 2}} \right)$
In a.c circuit current lead by voltage by a phase ${\pi  \over 2}$
Thus statement I is correct while II is incorrect.
