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.
