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.
