generated leads the voltage source with an angle. This angle is also known as phase shift that is
with respect to the voltage supply. A positive angle results to a leading circuit, capacitive, while a
negative angle result to a lagging, inductive circuit.
In Parallel RLC Circuit, the total impedance of the circuit is directly proportional to the
voltage of the supply and it is inversely proportional to the total current based in Ohms Law. If
the frequency is low, the current at the inductor is higher than the current at the capacitor while if
the frequency is high, the current at the capacitor is higher than the current at the inductor. The
resistors current remains relatively the same with small variations in terms of milliamperes.
When the current at the capacitor is higher than the inductor, the circuit is capacitive and when
the current at the inductor is higher than the capacitor, the circuit is inductive. An inductive
circuit is a lagging circuit because the current produced lags at a certain angle from the voltage
source while a capacitive circuit is a leading circuit because the current produced leads the
voltage source by a certain angle. This angle is also known as phase shift that is with respect to
the voltage supply. . A positive angle results to a leading circuit, capacitive, while a negative
angle result to a lagging, inductive circuit.
