The resistor voltage in an RL circuit is always out of phase with the current.

                It is true only..tan@=x/r, for x nt =0

                If x=0 then how can you say that it is rl circuit. It will be only resistance circuit.
If you are saying that its rl circuit then obviously its have nonzero values of r and l.

                Actually the current will be out of phase with respect to voltage not voltage out of phase wrt current.
I'm not confident but thinking so.

                In a series RL circuit voltage across resistance is in phase with current but voltage across is out of phase (V leads I by 90 degrees).

                Read the question carefully. The question is given as resistor voltage is out of phase not the voltage of total rl circuit. Because in resistor the current is always in phase with voltage.

                As it is RL circuilt so current lagging by voltage 90 degree.

                @k. Prasad--.
You are wrong. Resistor voltage not always phase with current. It's happen for ideal resistor which is practicaly impossible. It always lead current by some angle.

                In any case:.
Current THROUGH RESISTOR is in phase with voltage ACROSS ""IT"".
Current THROUGH INDUCTOR LAGS the voltage ACROSS ""IT"".
Current THROUGH CAPACITOR LEADS the voltage ACROSS ""IT"".

                In RL Circuit, the resistor voltage is not in phase with the current. In this current lags the voltage.
So, I think the answer is wrong.

                In resistance no doubt V & I is in phase but in case of RC circuit resultant current flow which is not in phase of voltage (lead) so due to this voltage across resistance is not in phase of current because R&C are in series and current in both are same.
