RL and RC Series Circuits
A light bulb connected in series with a capacitor and an a.c. source is glowing with a certain brightness. On reducing the capacitance of the capacitor and the frequency of the source, the brightness of the lamp (respectively)
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- increases when is reduced and also when is reduced.
- In both cases impedance rises and current falls, so brightness is reduced.
- So the answer is (b) is reduced, is reduced.
