Practice mode Physics

A pure inductor L and a pure capacitor C are connected in parallel across a sinusoidal potential difference V. How do the potential differences across L and C compare?

Correct answer D. They are the same

Explanation

Components connected in parallel share the same two terminals, so the potential difference across each is identical and equal to the supply voltage, whatever their reactances.
