A bulb and a capacitor are connected in series across an AC supply. A dielectric is then placed between the plates of the capacitor. The glow of the bulb:
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) increases
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{Z}=\sqrt{\mathrm{R}^2+\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}^2} \& \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{WC}}\)
due to dielectric
\(\mathrm{C} \uparrow \Rightarrow \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}} \downarrow \Rightarrow \mathrm{Z} \downarrow\)
So, current increases & thus bulb will glow more brighter.

Assertion A : If oxygen ion \(\left(\mathrm{O}^{-2}\right)\) and Hydrogen ion \(\left(\mathrm{H}^{+}\right)\)enter normal to the magnetic field with equal momentum, then the path of \(\mathrm{O}^{-2}\) ion has a smaller curvature than that of \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\).
Reason R : A proton with same linear momentum as an electron will form a path of smaller radius of curvature on entering a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly.
