An ac source of variable angular frequency and constant amplitude is connected in series with a capacitance C and an electric bulb of resistance R. When angular frequency is increased then :

  1. A total impedance of the circuit increases
  2. B total impedance of the circuit is constant
  3. C the bulb glow brighter
  4. D the bulb glow dimmer
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) the bulb glow brighter

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C}\) As \(\omega \uparrow\), \(X_C \downarrow\) \(Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_C^2}\) As \(X_C \downarrow\), \(Z \downarrow\) \(I = \frac{V}{Z}\) As \(Z \downarrow\), \(I \uparrow\) The bulb glows brighter.
