In a parallel R-C circuit, the current always________the applied voltage?

Correct answer: B. leads

  • A. lags
  • B. leads
  • C. remains in phase with
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

In a parallel R-C circuit, the resistor current is in phase with voltage while the capacitor current leads it by 90°, so their total current leads the applied voltage.
