If you understand complex numbers then you will see that the imaginary value jXC which depends upon the value of C,capacitance, determines the value of the phase displacement angle.
Answer">AnswerYou don't need to understand complex numbers to understand this topic. The term you are looking for is 'phase angle', not 'phase difference'. This is defined as the angle by which the load current leads or lags the supply voltage. For a resistive-capactive circuit, the load current leads the supply voltage and, so, the phase angle is leading. The actual angle depends on the values of R and XC (capacitive reactance). Incidentally, the 'displacement angle' is something different again!

Single phase and three phase circuit?
Yes, there is a difference between single phase and three phase circuits.
What detrimental effect does inductance have on the current in an alternating current circuit?
In inductive circuits the current phase lags behind the voltage phase. The phase difference between current and voltage can mean you can get heavy currents flowing that aren't doing useful work, yet contribute to wasted power if they flow in other parts of the circuit (or even in surrounding metal screens etc) . In some circuits, such as tuned circuits, inductance is an important feature so resistive components have to be avoided there.
What are the procedures for the connection of single and multi-phase circuits?
Check continuity
What are the main difference while applying kirchoffs laws to dc circuits and ac circuits using meter readings?
For DC circuits, an alebraic sum is required. For AC circuits, a phasor sum is required.
Low-pass filter phase shift?
ONE low pass(RC) circuit gives 60 degrees phase shift
Single phase and three phase circuit?
Yes, there is a difference between single phase and three phase circuits.
What are the difference between rl and RC circuit?
RL circuits involve a resistor and inductor in series. RC circuits involve a resistor and capacitor in series. You can see where the acronyms come from.
Can a 2 pole breaker to protect 1 phase circuits and 2 phase circuits?
Probably
What is the code ruling in the US on 3 phase branch circuits and the neutral?
A three phase system will have 3 phase branch circuits and no neutral.
What are RC circuits used for?
RC circuits can be used to filter a signal by blocking certain frequencies and passing others.
Why RC circuit is preferred over RL circuit in waveshaping?
There is no true advantage of RC circuits over RL circuits, as they perform different functions. RC circuits contain resistors and capacitors, while RL circuits contain resistors and inductors.
The difference between the circuits?
You have not specified which circuits

What is the difference between wien-bridge oscillator and phase-shift oscillator?
Rc phase shift uses negative feedback.. Weinbridge uses both +ve and -ve feedback

What is the relation between the path difference and phase difference?
Relation between phase difference and path difference is path difference/wavelength=phase difference/2*pi
How many single phase can you run on a 100amp 3 phase?
You can divide a three phase service into (3) single phase circuits providing you have a 4th neutral wire.
