Question 252

What is the relationship between the AC current through a capacitor and the voltage across a capacitor?

  1. Voltage and current are in phase
  2. Voltage and current are 180 degrees out of phase
  3. Voltage leads current by 90 degrees
  4. Current leads voltage by 90 degreesBonne réponse

Explication

Current in a capacitor is proportional to the rate of change of voltage, so it peaks a quarter cycle before the voltage does. The result is that the current leads the voltage by 90 degrees, the opposite of the inductor case.
