The diagram shows a capacitor C and a resistor R connected in series to an ac source. $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ are voltmeters and A is an ammeter
Consider now the following statements
I. Readings in A and V₂ are always in phase
II. Reading in V₁ is ahead in phase with reading in V₂
III. Readings in A and V₁ are always in phase which of these statements are/is correct
