Given below are two statements.
Statement I: In an ac circuit, the current through a capacitor leads the voltage across it.
Statement II: In a.c circuits containing pure capacitance only, the phase difference between the current and the voltage is $\pi$.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Detailed Solution
In a purely capacitive AC circuit the current leads the voltage by a phase of $\frac{\pi}{2}$, not $\pi$. So Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
