An AC voltage source of variable angular frequency \(\omega\) and fixed amplitude \(V_0\) is connected in series with a capacitance \(C\) and an electric bulb of resistance \(R\) (inductance zero). When \(\omega\) is increased

  1. A Total impedance of the circuit increase.
  2. B The bulb glows brighter.
  3. C The bulb glows dimmer.
  4. D Total impedance of the circuit is unchanged.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) The bulb glows brighter.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Potential difference across bulb,
\(V=I R=\frac{V_0 R}{\sqrt{R^2+\left(\frac{1}{\omega C}\right)^2}}\)
When \(\omega\) is increased, potential across the bulb as well as brightness increases.
