Assertion : In a purely inductive or capacitive circuit, the current is referred to as wattless currents.
Reason : No power is dissipated in a purely inductive or capacitive circuit even though a current is flowing in the circuit.

A

If both assertion ans reason are true ans reaason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion istrue but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In a purely inductive or capacitive circuit, power factor, `cos phi = 0` and no power is dissipated even though a current to as wattless current.
