A coil of self-inductance L is connected in series with a bulb B and an AC source. Brightness of the bulb decreases when:Brightness decreases when an iron rod is inserted in the coil, as the inductance and hence the impedance of the circuit increases.
It increases when the frequency of the AC source is decreased, as the impedance decreases.
It increases when the number of turns in the coil is reduced, as the impedance decreases.
It increases when a capacitance of reactance $X_C = X_L$ is included, as the impedance decreases.

A coil has resistance 30 ohm and inductive reactance 20 ohm at 50 Hz frequency. If an ac source of 200 volt, 100 Hz is connected across the coil, the current in the coil will beInductive reactance $X_L = 2\pi fL$ is proportional to frequency.
At 50 Hz, $X_L = 20\ \Omega$; at 100 Hz, $X_L' = 20\times\frac{100}{50} = 40\ \Omega$
The resistance does not depend on frequency: R = 30 $\Omega$.
Impedance at 100 Hz: $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L'^2} = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2} = \sqrt{2500} = 50\ \Omega$
$I = \frac{V}{Z} = \frac{200}{50}$
I = 4.0 A

An ac voltage is applied to a resistance R and inductor L in series. If R and the inductive reactance are both equal to 3 $\Omega$, the phase difference between the applied voltage and the current in the circuit isIn a series LR circuit the voltage leads the current by an angle $\phi$ given by $\tan\phi = \frac{X_L}{R}$
$\tan\phi = \frac{3}{3} = 1$
$\phi = 45^\circ$
$\phi = \frac{\pi}{4}$
