Consider now the following statements
I. Readings in $A$ and $V_2$ are always in phase
II. Reading in $V_1$ is ahead in phase with reading in $V_2$
III. Readings in $A$ and $V_1$ are always in phase which of these statements are/is correct

Electromagnetic Induction

Solution:

In $RC$ series circuit voltage across the capacitor leads the voltage across the resistance by $\pi /2$
