Question:

Choose the wrong statement for the pure inductive circuit.

Show Hint

Remember: \[ \text{Inductor: current lags voltage} \] \[ \text{Capacitor: current leads voltage} \]
Updated On: Apr 29, 2026
  • The inductive reactance limits the current in a purely inductive circuit.
  • The average power supplied to an inductor over one complete cycle is zero.
  • The inductive reactance is directly proportional to the frequency of the emf.
  • The emf of the source and current oscillate symmetrically about zero value.
  • The current leads the voltage by \(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\).

The Correct Option is

Solution and Explanation

In a pure inductive circuit, current lags the voltage by: \[ \frac{\pi}{2} \] So statement (E), which says current leads the voltage, is wrong. Hence, \[ \boxed{(E)} \]
