Waveforms and Phasor Diagram
As, circuit does not contain any resistance, there is no ohmic drop and hence applied voltage is
equal and opposite to back emf.

Average Power
Thus, from the above, it can be said that the current in series R-L
circuit lags the applied voltage V by an angle .
It shows that current phasor is lagging behind the voltage phasor by φ°. The numerical
value of current is V/Z.

(1) VL > VC
(2) VL < VC
Case-1 When, VL > VC, the phasor diagram would be as in the figure 4.36
The angle by which V leads I is given by
