A lamp is connected in series with a capacitor. Predict your observations for dc and ac connections. What happens in each case if the capacitance of the capacitor is reduced?

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

When a $dc$ source is connected to a capacitor, the capacitor gets charged and after charging no current flows in the circuit and the lamp will not glow. There will be no change even if $C$ is reduced. With ac source, the capacitor offers capacitative reactance $(1 / \omega C)$ and the current flows in the circuit. Consequently, the lamp will shine. Reducing $C$ will increase reactance and the lamp will shine less brightly than before.
