If wattless current in the ac circuit, then circuit is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
If the current is wattless, it means no power is consumed — i.e., the current and voltage are 90° out of phase.
This happens only when the circuit is purely reactive, that is:
• either purely inductive, or
• purely capacitive.
