Question

An alternating emf of frequency 50 Hz is applied to a series circuit ofresistance , an inductance of 100 mH and a capacitance of . Does the current lag or lead the emf and by what angle?

Solution

Correct option is

75o

The inductive reactance is

         

The capacitive resistance is  

         

Here XC > XL, the circuit is capacitive and so the current leads the emf. The angle of lead is given by
