In the A. C. circuit shown, keeping 'K' pressed, if an iron rod is inserted into the coil, the bulb in the circuit

A

gets damaged

B

glows less brightly

C

glows with same brightness (as before the rod is inserted)

D

glows more brightly

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As the iron rod is inserted, the magnetic field inside the coil magnetizes the iron increasing the magnetic field inside it. Hence, the inductance of the coil increases. As a result, a larger fraction of the applied ac voltage appears across the inductor, leaving less voltage across the bulb. Therefore, the bulb glows less brightly,
