  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 3-phase AC power supply is used to power a factory's lights. What is the relationship between the current and voltage in each phase?

    • A) Current and voltage are 90° out of phase
    • B) Current and voltage are in phase
    • C) Current leads voltage by 90°
    • D) Current lags voltage by 90°

    Answer: Current lags voltage by 90°

    Explanation: Current and voltage are 90° out of phase in each phase; this is known as a 'lagging' phase
