A Wattless Current can be defined in following way:
The current in an AC circuit is said to be Wattless Current when the average power consumed in such circuit corresponds to Zero.Such current is also called as Idle Current.
This mainly happens in a purely inductive or capacitative circuit only.This is because,in both inductive and capacitive circuits,the voltage and current differ by a phase angle of 90. As the average power depends upon the cos component which becomes zero as the angle between them is ninety.
Theoretically, we can say that this phenomenon occurs as it flows along the direction of voltage or sometimes completely against it,making net work done zero. As net work done approaches zero,the power also corresponds to zero,resulting in a Wattless current.
