In a transformer, exciting current is made up of two components namely magnetizing current Im and core loss current Ic, with negligible leakage impedance drop (V is supply voltage)

A

Both Im and Ic lag supply voltage V by $$90^\circ$$

B

Both Im and Ic are in phase with V

C

$$I_M$$ lags V by $$90^\circ$$ whereas $$I_c$$ is in phase with V

D

$$I_M$$ is in phase with V but $$I_c$$ lags V by $$90^\circ$$
