Neet Solved Paper 2013 Question 32

Question: A coil of self-inductance L is connected in series with a bulb -B and an AC source. Brightness of the bulb decreases when

Options:

A) frequency of the AC source is decreased

B) number of turns in the coil is reduced

C) a capacitance of reactance $ X _{C}=X _{L} $ is included in the same circuit

D) an iron rod is inserted in the coil

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • As $ Z=\sqrt{R^{2}+X_L^{2}}=\sqrt{R^{2}+{{(2\pi fvL)}^{2}}} $ As $ l=\frac{V}{Z},p=l^{2}R $ i.e., $ V\uparrow ,L\uparrow \Rightarrow Z\uparrow ,l\downarrow $ and $ P\downarrow $
