Question

If given a device that has unknown circuitry, and you measure that the voltage across the device leads the voltage across a resistor at 500 Hz, can you know what type of elements are in the device?If so, how?

Answer 1

Inductor.

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that, the voltage across the device leads the voltage across a resistor at 500 Hz. The device that has unknown circuitry can be a inductor. For LC circuit, the voltage across the inductor leads the voltage across resistor. So, the device can be a inductor.
