A lamp is connected in series with a capacitor. Predict your observations for dc and ac connections:
1. | When a dc source is connected to a capacitor, the lamp will not glow in a steady-state condition. |
2. | When an ac source is connected to a capacitor, the lamp will glow. |
3. | Both (1) and (2) are correct. |
4. | None of these. |
1. | When the DC source is connected to the capacitor, the lamp will not glow in a steady-state condition. |
2. | When the AC source is connected to the capacitor and the capacitance of the capacitor is reduced, the lamp will glow less brightly. |
3. | When the DC source is connected to the capacitor and the capacitance of the capacitor is reduced, the lamp will glow less brightly. |
4. | Both (1) and (2). |
A \(15.0~\mathrm{\mu F}\) capacitor is connected to a \(220~\mathrm{V}\), \(50~\mathrm{Hz}\) source. If the frequency is doubled, what happens to the capacitive reactance and the current?
1. | the capacitive reactance is halved and the current is doubled. |
2. | the capacitive reactance is doubled and the current is halved. |
3. | the capacitive reactance remains the same and the current is doubled. |
4. | the current remains the same and the capacitive reactance is halved. |
A light bulb and an open coil inductor are connected to an ac source through a key as shown in the figure.
The switch is closed and after some time, an iron rod is inserted into the interior of the inductor. The glow of the light bulb:
1. increases
2. decreases
3. is unchanged, as the iron rod is inserted
4. first increases and then decreases
