An electric lamp having coil of negligible inductance connected in series with a capacitor and an a.c. source is glowing with certain brightness, Fig. How does the brightness of the lamp change on reducing (i) capacitance (ii) frequency

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Brightness of lamp `prop I_(v)^(2)`
Assumign zero resistance and zero inductance of lamp, `I_(v) = (E_(V))/(X_(C)) = (E_(V))/(1//omega C) = E_(v) (2 pi v) C`,
On reducing C or `v , I_(v)` would decrease. Therefore, brightness of the lamp will decrease.
