why the current leads voltage in the case of a capasitor

Answer Posted / balaji

capacitor is nothing but two metallic plates seperated by a
dielectric medium..if we give supply to a capacitor the
flow of oppositely charged particles begin results in the
flow of current resembles like short circuit.voltage in a
short circuit is zero...once the metal plates get charged
no particles will move and it behaves like a open circuit
having supply voltage across it and the current becomes
zero.
