An a.c. voltage is applied across an ideal inductor. The current in it
  1. (A)leads the voltage by cycle
  2. (B)lags the voltage by cycle✓ Correct
  3. (C)leads the voltage by cycle
  4. (D)lags the voltage by cycle

Answer: (B)

Solution

In a purely inductive circuit the current lags the applied voltage by a phase angle , which corresponds to one-quarter of a cycle. Hence option (B).
