A bulb and a capacitor are in series with an `AC` source. On increasing frequency how will glow of the bulb change

A

The glow decreases

B

The glow increases

C

The glow remain the same

D

The bulb quench

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
This is because, when frequency `v` is increased, the capacitive reactance `X_(C)=1/(2pivC)` decrease and hence the current through the bulb increases
