Question

A resistor R and a capacitor C are connected in parallel across the same sinusoidal AC source. Which statements are correct?

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

The resistor branch current is in phase with V and the capacitor branch current leads V by 90°. Their vector sum therefore leads the voltage. The equivalent impedance is generally complex and capacitive.
