Statement (A): An electric lamp is connected in series with a long solenoid of copper with air core and then connected to AC source. If an iron rod is inserted in solenoid the lamp will become dim.
Statement (B): If iron rod is inserted in solenoid, the induction of solenoid increases.
Statement (B): If iron rod is inserted in solenoid, the induction of solenoid increases.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both (A) and (B) are true
Both (A) and (B) are true because inserting an iron rod increases the inductance of the solenoid, which increases the impedance and reduces the current, dimming the lamp.
