Alternating Current

Question:

A small signal voltage $e=e_0 \sin \omega t$ is applied across an ideal capacitor of capacitance C. The correct statement is:

Options:

Phase difference between Current I(t) and Voltage V(t) is zero.

Capacitor does not consume any energy from the source of emf over a complete cycle.

Current I(t) lags behind the voltage V(t) by $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Current I(t) leads the voltage V(t) by $\pi$

Correct Answer:

Capacitor does not consume any energy from the source of emf over a complete cycle.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Capacitor does not consume any energy from the source of emf over a complete cycle.
