A lamp is connected in series with a capacitor

a lamp is connected in series with a capacitor .predict your observations for 1)dc and 2)ac connection. What happens in each case if dielectric slab is introduced in the capacitor?

Answered by admin @



For DC connection, initially the lamp will shine for a moment and at the steady state capacitor acts as an open circuit and hence lamp will not shine.
For AC connection, Lamp will shine as the current is finite i.e.
Now, if the capacitance is reduced, the (1/ωC) factor in the denominator increases and hence the current decreases. Thus brightness of the lamp reduces.
