Question

The diagram shows a capacitor C and a resistor R connected in series to an AC source.  V1 and V2 are voltmeters and A is an ammeter.

Now, consider 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.
lII. Readings in A and V1 are always in phase.
Which of these statements are/is correct?

Moderate
Solution

In RC series circuit, voltage across the resistor is always in phase with the current.
