In an $ac$ circuit,the instantaneous voltage $e(t)$ and current $i(t)$ are given by $e(t) = 5[\cos \omega t + \sqrt{3} \sin \omega t] \ V$ and $i(t) = 5[\sin(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{4})] \ A$. Determine the phase relationship between voltage and current.

  • A
    Current leads voltage by $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  • B
    Voltage leads current by $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • C
    Voltage leads current by $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  • D
    Current leads voltage by $\frac{\pi}{12}$
