As with any reactive circuit, the power alternates between positive and negative instantaneous values over time. In a purely reactive circuit that alternation between positive and negative power is equally divided, resulting in a net power dissipation of zero.

Because reactive power is the power that capacitor generates towards the source and which keep going back and forth so thats imaginary power that is in the power line but in case of ideal capacitor it produces true power only, the real power.
