But we know from the preceding section that the voltage across the inductor VL leads the current by one-fourth of a cycle, the voltage across the capacitor VC follows the current by one-four...But we know from the preceding section that the voltage across the inductor VL leads the current by one-fourth of a cycle, the voltage across the capacitor VC follows the current by one-fourth of a cycle, and the voltage across the resistor VR is exactly in phase with the current.
