प्रश्न
A bulb is connected in series with a variable capacitor and an AC source as shown. What happens to the brightness of the bulb when the key is plugged in and capacitance of the capacitor is gradually reduced?

उत्तर
The capacitance of the capacitor is gradually reduced. Therefore, the capacitive reactance `X_c=1/(2pifC)` increases.
Therefore, essentially, the overall resistance of the circuit increases. This causes a reduction in the amount of current flowing through the circuit. Therefore, the brightness of the bulb reduces
