Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 119
Question: Assertion : A bulb connected in series with a solenoid is connected to ac source. If a soft iron core is introduced in the solenoid, the bulb will glow brighter. Reason : On introducing soft iron core in the solenoid, the inductance increases.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: E
Solution:
On introducing soft iron core, the bulb will glow dimmer. This is because on introducing soft iron core in the solenoid, its inductance L increases, the inductive reactance, $ X_{L}=\omega ,L $ increases and hence the current through the bulb decreases.
