Alternating Current

  1. An ac voltage is applied to a resistance R and an inductor L in series. If R and the inductive reactance are both equal to 3Ω, the phase difference between the applied voltage and the current in the circuit is​​
    1. π/6 ​
    2. π/4 ​
    3. ​π/2 ​
    4. zero
Correct Option: B

The phase difference φ is given by ​

tan φ =
XL
R

= 3 = 1 ⇒ φ = π
