Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current

What will be the phase difference between virtual voltage and virtual current when current in the circuit is wattless?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Wattless current means $P = V_{rms}I_{rms}\cos\phi = 0$ .
So $\cos\phi = 0$ , i.e. $\phi = 90^\circ$ .
So the answer is (c) $90^\circ$ .
