alleryA current that dissipates no power is referred to as:
AWattless current
BResonant current
CEffective current
DAlternating one
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Wattless current
1. A purely reactive component is ninety degrees out of phase.
2. It carries charge but delivers no average power.
3. It is referred to as wattless current.
4. So the answer is wattless current.
