A lamp is connected in series with a capacitor. Predict your observations for dc and ac connections. What happens in each case if the capacitance of the capacitor is reduced ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When DC source is connected bulb will glow gradually more and more . When AC source is connected , bulb will glow with less brightness. When inductance is decreased, this brightness will increase.
