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

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         

Moderate
Solution

In RC series circuit voltage across the capacitor lags the voltage across the resistance by 

\[\frac{\pi }{2}\]
