MCQ
For watt$-$less power in an $AC$ circuit the phase angle between the current and voltage is.
  • A
    $0^{\circ}$
  • $90^{\circ}$
  • C
    $45^{\circ}$
  • D
    Not possible

Answer

Correct option: B.
$90^{\circ}$

Watt$-$less power in an $AC$ circuit is basically power supposed to be generated by inductive and capacitive reactance and since they are not resistor they generate any heat, and these power wasted is called watt$-$less power and its phase angle is always $90^{\circ}$ as it has only capacitor and inductor.
