current lag meaning

• [Electronics]
  A circuit condition in which current variations are delayed by up to 180 degrees of phase relative to voltage variations. Compare CURRENT LEAD.
  

• The current lags behind the voltage.
• In circuits with primarily inductive loads, current lags the voltage.
• The three phase currents lag their corresponding phase voltages by \ delta.
• The current lags 90� behind the voltage in accordance with classical AC circuit theory.
• In a circuit with motors ( inductive and resistive load ) the current lags behind the ac voltage.
• Capacitive loads are leading ( current leads voltage ), and inductive loads are lagging ( current lags voltage ).
• The majority of the load in a typical AC power system is inductive; the current lags behind the voltage.
• In this situation, the phase of the current lags that of the voltage by � / 2 ( 90� ).
• It should be fully updated with the last edits made; the current lag is pretty extreme .-- The Cunctator
• Transferring a large amount of reactive power Q to inductive loads makes the line current lag voltage, and the voltage regulation is characterized by decrease in voltage magnitude.
