A coil of self inductance L is connected in series with a bulb B and an a.c. source. Brightness of the bulb decreases when
Options
- Afrequency of a.c. source is decreased.
- Bnumber of turns in the coil is reduced.
- Ca capacitance of reactance (X_L-X_C ) is included in the same circuit.
- Dan iron rod is inserted in the coil.
Correct answer
D. an iron rod is inserted in the coil.
Step-by-step solution
When iron rod is inserted, the coil magnetizes the iron rod increasing the magnetic field. Inductance (L) of coil increases. V = L di dt Voltage drop across the coil increases i.e. voltage drop at bulb decreases. Brightness of bulb decreases.
