An electric bulb, an open coil inductor, an ac source and a key are all connected in series to form a closed circuit. The key is closed and after some time an iron rod is inserted into the interior of the inductor, then

  1. A The glow of the bulb increases
  2. B The glow of the bulb remains unchanged
  3. C The glow of the bulb decreases
  4. D The bulb does not glow
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) The glow of the bulb decreases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Iron rod increases inductance \(L\). Inductive reactance \(X_L = 2 \pi f L\) increases. Total impedance \(Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2}\) increases. Current \(I = V/Z\) decreases. The glow of the bulb decreases.
