                Why it lags instead of leading?

                Because inductive circuit always current lag.

                In Inductive circuit the current lags but voltage leads. The answer should be false.

                In RC circuit, current leads the source voltage.

                The phase difference is <= 90 degrees. It is customary to use the angle by which the voltage leads the current. This leads to a positive phase for inductive circuits since current lags the voltage in an inductive circuit. The phase is negative for a capacitive circuit since the current leads the voltage.
