  1. Question 1

    Q1. An AC source is connected to a capacitor. The current in the circuit is

    • A) in phase with the voltage
    • B) leads the voltage by π/2
    • C) lags the voltage by π/2
    • D) is zero

    Answer: leads the voltage by π/2

    Explanation: In a capacitor, current leads voltage by π/2 due to the nature of capacitive reactance.
