In an $A.C.$ circuit,the current:

  • A
    Always leads the voltage
  • B
    Always lags behind the voltage
  • C
    Is always in phase with the voltage
  • D
    May lead or lag behind or be in phase with the voltage

An $AC$ voltmeter connected between points $A$ and $B$ in the circuit below reads $36 \,V$. If it is connected between $A$ and $C$,the reading is $39 \,V$. The reading when it is connected between $B$ and $D$ is $25 \,V$. What is the reading when it is connected between $A$ and $D$? (Assume that the voltmeter reads true $rms$ voltage values and that the source generates a pure $AC$.)

The $i - \nu$ curve for an anti-resonant circuit is:

Statement-$I$: $A$ capacitor can be used in an $a.c.$ circuit in place of a choke coil.
Statement-$II$: $A$ capacitor blocks $d.c.$ and allows $a.c.$ to pass.

$A$ resistor $R$, an inductor $L$, and a capacitor $C$ are connected in series with an a.c. source. When $L$ is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between voltage and current in the circuit is $\pi/3$. If instead, $C$ is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again $\pi/3$. The power factor of the circuit is

An $LCR$ circuit is equivalent to a damped oscillator. $A$ capacitor is charged to a charge $Q_0$ as shown and then connected to $L$ and $R$. If a student plots graphs of the square of the maximum charge on the capacitor $(Q^2_{max})$ versus time for two different values of inductors $L_1$ and $L_2$ $(L_1 > L_2)$, which of the following graphs will correctly represent it?
