Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reactive power is called wattless power because it does not do any useful work but rather oscillates between an electrical source and load. It is measured in units of volt-amperes reactive (VAR) and represents the amount of power that is being exchanged between inductive or capacitive loads and the electrical system.
