An a.c. voltage source of fixed amplitude \( E_0 \) and variable angular frequency \( \omega \) is connected with an electric bulb of resistance R (inductance zero) and a capacitor of capacitance C in series. On increasing the angular frequency of the source, the total impedance of the circuit

  1. A increases and the bulb glows dimmer
  2. B decreases and the bulb glows brighter
  3. C remains the same and the bulb glows brighter
  4. D decreases and the bulb glows brighter
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) decreases and the bulb glows brighter

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_C^2} \) \( X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} \) As \( \omega \) increases, \( X_C \) decreases. Therefore, \( Z \) decreases. Since \( I = \frac{E_0}{Z} \) and \( Z \) decreases, \( I \) increases, making the bulb glow brighter. decreases and the bulb glows brighter
