Question
An iron cored coil is connected in series with an electric bulb withan AC source as shown in figure. When iron piece is taken out ofthe coil, the brightness of the bulb will(i) decrease(ii) increase(iii) remain unaffected(iv) fluctuate
Solution
The brightness of the bulb will increase. This is because the iron core in the coil increases the inductance of the coil. When the iron piece is removed, the inductance decreases. This means that the impedance (resistance to the flow of current) of the circuit decreases, allowing more current to flow. As a result, the bulb will shine brighter. So, the correct answer is (ii) increase.
