In an RC parallel circuit, the voltage across the resistor and the voltage across the capacitor are _____.

A) less than 90 ° out of phase with the resistor voltage lagging
B) in phase
C) less than 90 ° out of phase with the resistor voltage leading
D) 180 ° out of phase

RC Parallel Circuit

A circuit consisting of a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) connected in parallel with each other across a voltage source.

Resistor Voltage

The voltage across a resistor, determined by the current flowing through it and its resistance value.

Capacitor Voltage

The electrical potential difference across the terminals of a capacitor, dependent on the charge stored and the capacitor's capacitance.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
In an RC parallel circuit, the voltage across both the resistor and the capacitor is the same, meaning they are in phase with each other. This is because in a parallel circuit, all components share the same voltage.
