Answer
The current lags the alternating emf in circuit (2) and in circuit (3)
Work Step by Step
When $\phi \gt 0$, then the current lags behind the alternating emf.
The current lags the alternating emf when $~~\phi = +35^{\circ}~~$ in circuit (2) and $~~\phi = \frac{\pi}{3}~rad~~$ in circuit (3)
The current lags the alternating emf in circuit (2) and in circuit (3)
