In the given diagram, a coil B is connected to low voltage bulb L and placed parallel to another coil A as shown. Explain the following observations:
  1. Bulb lights.
  2. Bulb gets dimmer if the coil B moves upwards.

  1. Bulb lights up due to induced current in B because of change in flux linked with it as a consequence of continuous variation of magnitude of alternative current flowing in A.
  2. When coil B moves upward, the magnetic flux linked with B decreases and hence lesser current is induced in B.

    Figure shows a typical circuit for a low-pass filter. An AC input $V_{i }= 10mV$ is applied at the left end and the output $V_0$ is received at the right end. Find the output voltage for ν = 10kHz, 1.0MHz and 10.0MHz. Note that as the frequency is increased the output decreases and, hence, the name low-pass filter.
