A light bulb and an air core inductor are connected to an AC source. The glow of the light bulb increases if
(A) the frequency of an AC source increases
(B) a copper rod is inserted inside the inductor
(C) the frequency of an AC source decreases
(D) an iron rod is inserted inside the inductor
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B) and (E) only
  2. B (B), (C) and (D) only
  3. C (C), (D) and (E) only
  4. D (B), (C) and (E) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (B), (C) and (E) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( I = V/\sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2} \), where \( X_L = 2\pi fL \) For (C): \( f \downarrow \implies X_L \downarrow \implies \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2} \downarrow \implies I \uparrow \). Glow increases. For (B): Copper rod \(\implies\) Eddy currents \(\implies\) Effective…
