EXPLANATION:

  • Wattless Current: When in a circuit, there is only a Capacitor or inductor, power dissipation becomes zero even though the current is flowing through it. This current is known as wattless current.
  • So This wattless current happens in a purely inductive or capacitive circuit. 
  • Wattles current occurs in a circuit when the power dissipated is zero.
  • As the name suggests wattless means no watt. Watt is the unit of Power.

Option 2) is the correct choice.
