Practice mode Physics

In an a.c. circuit containing only resistance, what is the phase angle between voltage and current?

Correct answer C. Zero

Explanation

In a pure resistor the current at every instant is V/R, so it rises and falls exactly in step with the voltage and the phase difference is zero.
