Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current 6 Question 6
6. An AC voltage source of variable angular frequency and fixed amplitude is connected in series with a capacitance and an electric bulb of resistance (inductance zero). When is increased,
(2010)
(a) the bulb glows dimmer
(b) the bulb glows brighter
(c) total impedance of the circuit is unchanged
(d) total impedance of the circuit increases
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 6. (b)
Solution:
- Impedance,
where, As is increased, will be decrease or will be decrease. Hence, or will increase. Therefore, bulb glows brighter.
