Statement I: When capacitive reactance is smaller than the inductive reactance in 
series circuit, emf leads the current.
Statement II: The phase angle is the angle between the alternating emf and alternating current of the circuit.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
The phase angle for the 
series circuit is given by 
where, 
are inductive reactance and capacitive reactance respectively. When 
then 
is positive i.e., θ is positive (between 0 and π/2).
Hence, emf leads the current.
