Q.

A bulb and a capacitor are connected in series across an ac supply. A dielectric is then placed between the plates of the capacitor. The glow of the bulb     [2024]

1 increases  
2 remains same  
3 becomes zero  
4 decreases  

Ans.

(1)       

          As dielectric is placed, capacitance will increase.

            XC=1Cω

           It means the capacitive reactance decreases,so impedance of circuit decreases. Hence current increases. So power increases. So glow of the bulb increases.
