Write phase difference between current and voltage for an ac circuit, when (i) f = fr, (ii) f < fr (iii) f > fr Here fr is the resonant frequency.

Answer»

(i) f = fr when XL = XC
The circuit is purely resistive i.e., it is non-inductive. Therefore, current and voltage in the circuit are in the same phase.
(ii) f < fr as XL = ωL = 2πfL and XC = \(\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}\)
∴ When f is small, XL is small, XC is large. The circuit is capacitance dominated. Therefore, current in the circuit leads the voltage by phase angle ϕ.
(iii) f > fr
So, XL becomes large and XC becomes small. The circuit is inductance dominated. The current lags behind the voltage by phase angle ϕ.
