Phase Difference in Pure Components

Rarely Tested

In pure resistive circuits, voltage and current are in phase.

In pure inductive circuits, voltage leads current by $$90^\circ$$ (or $$\frac{\pi}{2}$$ radians).

In pure capacitive circuits, voltage lags current by $$90^\circ$$ (or $$\frac{\pi}{2}$$ radians).
