An AC series circuit has XL<XCX_L < X_C. Which one of the following correctly states the nature of the phase angle ϕ\phi between the supply voltage and current in its phasor diagram? (a) ϕ\phi is zero and the current is in phase with the voltage. (b) ϕ=−90∘\phi = -90^{\circ} and the circuit behaves as a pure capacitor. (c) ϕ\phi is negative and the current leads the voltage. (d) ϕ\phi is positive and the current lags the voltage.
