Question

The current and the potential difference in an inductor are in phase. B. The current lags the potential difference by π/2 in an inductor C. The current leads the potential difference by π/2 in an inductor. D. none of the above

Answer 1

The current lags the potential difference by π/2 in an inductor

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential difference leads to the current by
`(\pi)/(2)`. Alternate signals such as current and voltage -in this case- are periodic, this means that this signals are repeated at fixed spaces of time. Thus, In an inductor the current lags the potential difference by
`(\pi)/(2)`.
