In the phasor model, the voltage and current are represented by rotating arrows (called phasors ). The current in a capacitor leads These phasors rotate at a frequency f. the voltage across the capacitor by a phase angle of 90 degrees. The vertical component of the phasor is the instantaneous value of the current or voltage.
