'Power' is not 'consumed'; it is simply a 'rate' -the rate at which 'energy' is being consumed.
No energy is being consumed by a load which is either purely inductive or purely capacitive so, for such loads, the rate of energy consumption, or the power, would be theoretically be zero. However, purely inductive or capacitive circuits only exist in theory, and all circuits exhibit some degree of resistance, so you will never have a condition under which the power of an a.c. circuits truly becomes zero.
In case of parallel circuit the effective resistance is given by Reff = R1*R2*R3 /(R1R2 +R2R3 +R3R1) As short circuit takes place then anyone R1,R2,R3 becomes zero. Hence Reff becomes zero.
All the bulbs will go out. In a series circuit, the current at all points is the same. This is Kirchoff's Current Law. If you loosen or remove a bulb in a series circuit, the current at that bulb becomes zero, and by Kirchoff's Current Law, the current in every part of the circuit also becomes zero.
The power consumed by an inductor is not zero since it's resistance is not zero either. The power consumed is just too minimal that it can be ignored. What the inductor does is, during one half of the Current's sinusoidal waveform, it stores energy in the form of magnetic flux. During the next half,it discharges the stored energy into the circuit by losing the magnetic field. Hence,they say it doesn't consume power. If the inductor's resistance was significant then you will see that it will consume power. Resistance and Reactive resistance are two different things.
While it seems there is no power consumed in reactive components, the reality is that there is power transfer, which must be considered in the system design.Power is amperes times volts, but in a reactive circuit, the two are not in phase. If the phase angle becomes 90 degrees (a power factor of zero) the effect will be the appearance of zero power.Supplement. Consider the transformer for a start. The magnetic susceptibility curve for the transformer core forms a hysteresis loop. That S-shaped diagram you remember. The area inside the loop is power lost in the system, and goes to make the transformer a little warm.the same applies to any inductor. And there is always a small resistive loss in the copper wire as well.(Unless you have a super-conductor and some liquid helium to hand.)The capacitor is next. It works by storing the energy as a distortion of the "crystal matrix" of the dielectric material. Which is not as lossy as the iron core of an inductor, but does have some loss.In closing, the transformer reflects to the supply side, the reactance of the whole circuit as seen by the secondary side.
A short circuit.
Current flowing through an ac circuit in which power consumed is zero is called wattless current.
the power will be zero.
a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()
When the Inductor's value equals Zero, then the Power Factor reaches 1. Conversly, when the Resistance equals 0, the Power Factor becomes Zero. The Power Factor for a Series R-L Circuit is equal to R / sqrt (R^2 + (w*L)^2 )
In case of parallel circuit the effective resistance is given by Reff = R1*R2*R3 /(R1R2 +R2R3 +R3R1) As short circuit takes place then anyone R1,R2,R3 becomes zero. Hence Reff becomes zero.
The power factor never depends on the resistance of a circuit. It depends on the equivalent inductance and capacitance in the circuit, and on the frequency of the power supply, even if the resistance is zero.

ratio between true power and apparent power is called the power factor for a circuit Power factor =true power/apparent power also we conclude PF=power dissipated / actual power in pure resistive circuit if total resistance is made zero power factor will be zero
9x100. Since anything to the zero power is 1, this becomes just 9.

It should be zero, but the only problem with that is that you can't divide by zero; so it becomes inconvenient in case the something to the power of zero happens to be in the denominator. Therefore, mathematicians have agreed to let something to the power of zero to always be one just for the sake of convenience.
