In a DC RLC circuit:

Is there inductive and capacitive reactance in a pulsed DC RLC circuit?

Can there be a lead or Lag of current in a pulsed DC RLC circuit?
Please explain.

Is it possible in a Pulsed DC RLC circuit to make the current lag so it never reaches the load? What would do this?

1. Of course there is - the voltage is changing at a substantial rate when the pulse is applied and stopped.

2. The same effects of capacitive and inductive reactance apply in the situation.

3. Lagging by 90 deg does not mean it never gets there. Also -think of the very low impedance path through the capacitor.

Indeed. And you can excite (R)LC circuits to "ring" at any harmonic of the pulse base frequency. (if the duty cycle is 50%, you can only get odd harmonics, but if it is anything else, you can also get even harmonics. And if it's a very very short pulse, you can get ALL harmonics.
