why the current leads voltage in the case of a capasitor

Answer Posted / deepakindi1

current through capacitor=

ic= c dvc/dt

ie current through capacitor is a function of rate of
change of voltage applied across it, as applied voltage is
sinusoidal sine wave ,if u take a slope at zero croosing of
wave form rate of change of the voltage is maximum so is
the current at zero croosing of wave form is maximum. that
ic reaches its maximum before applied voltage that y
current through capacitor leads voltage

I have made a 3 phase thyristor full bridge rectifier. But at the moment it is working only for the half bridge operation. Both the half bridges are on operation separately but when i put it into full bridge operation the oscilloscope output is zero. I rechecked that the pulses are correct for each thyristor. what could be the possible reason for this?
