Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the phase difference between voltage and current in a purely resistive AC circuit?
Correct Answer: 0 degrees
  • Step 1: Understand what a purely resistive AC circuit is. It means the circuit only has resistors and no capacitors or inductors.
  • Step 2: Know that in an AC circuit, voltage and current can be out of sync, which is called phase difference.
  • Step 3: In a purely resistive circuit, the voltage and current reach their maximum and minimum values at the same time.
  • Step 4: Since they are in sync, the phase difference between voltage and current is 0 degrees.
