Capacitors - Technical MCQs

Q1:

What is the phase shift between the voltage across the resistor and the voltage from the source?

A VR leads VS by 17°

B VR leads VS by 73°

C VR lags VS by 73°

D VR lags VS by 17°

ANS:B - VR leads VS by 73°

Xc = 1/2pi(1kHz)(0.01uF) = 15915 ohms.

5000ohms - (15915ohms)i = 16682 < -72.56 degree.
