Question 11 Mark
Assertion (A): 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 (R): On introducing soft iron core in the solenoid, the inductance increases.
Reason (R): On introducing soft iron core in the solenoid, the inductance increases.
Answer
View full question & answer→(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation: A is true but R is false.
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.
