Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Ideal capacitors and ideal inductors do not dissipate energy instead they store energy and hence consume no power. Since current flowing through them does not generate any power (watt) it is said to be wattless current.
