The phase difference between voltage and current wave through a circuit element is given as 30°. The essential condition is that

Correct answer: A. both waves must have same frequency

  • A. both waves must have same frequency
  • B. both waves must have identical peak values
  • C. both waves must have zero value at the same time
  • D. none of the aboveGet Study Guides

Explanation

A fixed phase difference between two steady sinusoidal waves is meaningful only when they have the same frequency; otherwise their relative phase continually changes. Equal peak values and simultaneous zero crossings are not essential.
