leads the voltage by $90^{\circ}$

(C) In an $AC$-circuit containing only capacitance,the current always leads the voltage by a phase angle of $90^{\circ}$.This occurs because the charge $q$ on the capacitor is related to the voltage $V$ by $q = CV$.The current $I$ is the rate of change of charge,$I = dq/dt = C(dV/dt)$.If $V = V_0 \sin(\omega t)$,then $I = C \omega V_0 \cos(\omega t) = I_0 \sin(\omega t + 90^{\circ})$.Thus,the current leads the voltage by $90^{\circ}$.
