Verified
In a parallel circuit, the current flow through the inductor will be _____.
A) in phase
B) 180 ° out of phase
C) 90 ° out of phase with the voltage
D) less than 90 ° out of phase with the resistor current lagging
Inductor Current
A measure of the flow of electric charge through an inductor, influenced by the inductor's properties and the circuit it is part of.
Phase
A measure of the position of a point in time on a waveform cycle, often used in the context of alternating electrical currents.
Parallel Circuit
An electrical circuit in which the components are connected in parallel, providing multiple paths for the current.
- Understand the phase relationships between current and voltage in parallel circuits, specifically through inductive components.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
In a parallel circuit, the current flow through an inductor lags the voltage across it by 90 degrees due to the inductive reactance, which opposes changes in current.
