When resistance and inductance are both in a circuit, the phase between voltage and current is less than 90 degrees.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a circuit containing both resistance (R) and inductance (L), the phase difference between the voltage and current is less than 90 degrees because the resistive component contributes to a phase shift of 0 degrees, while the inductive component contributes to a phase shift of up to 90 degrees, resulting in a net phase shift that is between 0 and 90 degrees.
