AC Capacitance and Capacitive Reactance
The opposition to current flow through an AC Capacitor is called Capacitive Reactance and which itself is inversely proportional to the supply frequency
23.3: RLC Series AC Circuits
The phase angle is close to (90^o), consistent with the fact that the capacitor dominates the circuit at this low frequency (a pure RC circuit has its voltage and current (90^o) out of …
23.11 Reactance, Inductive and Capacitive – College Physics
For capacitors, we find that when a sinusoidal voltage is applied to a capacitor, the voltage follows the current by one-fourth of a cycle, or by a [latex]{90^{circ}}[/latex] phase angle. Since a …

Phase shift in AC Components
In a purely inductive circuit the voltage and current waveforms are not in phase. Inductance opposes change in current due to the back emf effect. This causes the current to reach its peak value some time after the voltage. ... Therefore a …
Why does a capacitor create a 90 degree phase shift of voltage and current?
A capacitor resists against change of voltage across it. An inductor resists against change of current through it.
