  3. be four times at high
  4. be reduced to one fourth

Correct answer: (A)
be reduced by half

32.In a pure inductive circuit

  1. the current is in phase with the voltage
  2. the current lags behind the voltage by 90°
  3. the current leads the voltage by 90°
  4. the current can lead or lag by 90°

Correct answer: (B)
the current lags behind the voltage by 90°
