In pure capacitor circuit, angle between voltage and current is
0
30
60
90
90
In a pure capacitor circuit, the current leads the voltage by an exact phase angle of 90┬░ (or 2╧АтАЛ radians). This occurs because the capacitor opposes any change in voltage by storing energy in an electric field, creating a phase shift between the sinusoidal signals.

The current in a capacitor is defined as i(t)=CdtdvтАЛ. If voltage is v(t)=VmтАЛsin(╧Йt), then i(t)=CdtdтАЛ(VmтАЛsin(╧Йt))=╧ЙCVmтАЛcos(╧Йt)=╧ЙCVmтАЛsin(╧Йt+90┬░). The derivative of the sine function results in a cosine, which is inherently shifted by 90┬░ leading.
A pure capacitor is a non-dissipative element; it stores and releases energy.
The power factor for a pure capacitive circuit is zero (leading).
Average power consumed by a pure capacitor over a cycle is zero.
Zero active power consumption in ideal conditions
Used for power factor correction in industrial systems
Ideal pure capacitors do not exist; all have some Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)
Can cause resonance issues in power grids
Filtering circuits
Coupling and decoupling applications
Power factor improvement banks
The phase angle is defined as ╧Х=90┬░ for a pure capacitor.
Option A (0┬░) represents a purely resistive circuit.
Options B (30┬░) and C (60┬░) represent R-C series circuits where the phase angle depends on the values of R and C.
D is correct тАФ In a pure capacitor, the current leads the voltage by 90┬░.
Remember 'ELI the ICE man': In an Inductor (L), E leads I; in a Capacitor (C), I leads E.
