in an inductor, the voltage will lead the current by 90 degrees and for a capacitor it will lag the current by 90 degrees.
what were the college notes?

Phasors are much safer set to stun.
Ok, you knew someone would say that didn`t you ?.
Yes I must admit I`ve always got to think of the convention used for which leads which and which lags which

The notes are the same it was actually the drawing of the diagram wich is conflicting - sorry i cant post pic ill try to explain:
if using i as ref and in phase Vr would Xc come under the line and Xl above - have diagrams showing both but would assume that Xc would be above as it is leading not lagging (if that makes any sense)

yeah i use that method its just the drawing thats got me confused should Xc go under or above the ref line i would say above as it leads but my college notes show it below and im getting all confused over the drawing
Are you talking about the phasor diagram as the Xc phasor will point below the origin and the Xl will above the origin.
On the diagram the phasors will be rotating clockwise relative to time.
