A pure inductor is connected to an AC power supply. What happens to the current in this circuit?
Added by Areesha N.
Step 1
When an AC power supply is connected to a pure inductor, the current in the circuit lags behind the voltage by a phase angle of 90 degrees. This is due to the property of inductors to resist changes in current. Show more…
