Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: In an $AC$ circuit,the current through a capacitor leads the voltage across it.
Statement-$II$: In $AC$ circuits containing pure capacitance only,the phase difference between the current and the voltage is $\pi$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both statement-$I$ and statement-$II$ are correct.
  • B
    Both statement-$I$ and statement-$II$ are incorrect.
  • C
    Statement-$I$ is correct but statement-$II$ is incorrect.
  • D
    Statement-$I$ is incorrect but statement-$II$ is correct.
