What is meant by wattles current ?

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.

In the series LCR circuit as shown in figure, the heat developed in 80 seconds and amplitude of wattless current is :

A circuit consisting of an inductance and a resistance joined to a 200 volt supply ( A.C.) It draws a current of 10 ampere. If the power used in the circuit is 1500 watt, then the wattless current component is

The series combination of resistance R and inductance L is connected to an alternating source of e.m.f. e = 311 sin (100 pit) . If the value of wattless current is 0.5A and the impedance of the circuit is 311Omega , the power factor will be –

In an AC circuit,the instantaneous e.m.f.,and current are given by E=100sin30tI=20sin(30t-(pi)/(4)) In one cycle of AC,the average power consumed by the circuit and the wattless current are respectively

In an a.c. circuit, the instantaneous e.m.f. and current are given by e = 100 sin 30 t i = 20 sin( 30t-(pi)/(4)) In one cycle of a.c., the average power consumed by the circuit and the wattless current are, respectively :

In an a.c. circuit, the instantaneous e.m.f. and current are given by e=100sin30t I=20sin(30t-(pi)/(4)) In one cycle of a.c., the average power consumed by the circuit and the wattless current are, respectively.

The r.m.s current in an AC circuit is 2A . If the wattless current be sqrt(3)A , what is the power factor?
