Question
If wattless current flows in the circuit, then the circuit is :
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
BPurely Inductive circuit
Step-by-step explanation
The current in an AC circuit containing only either a capacitor or an inductor is said to be wattless as the average power is zero. As wattless current has phase difference of with voltage, therefore power factor will be zero.
