A light bulb and an inductor coil are connected to an ac source through a key as shown in the figure below. The key is closed and after sometime an iron rod is inserted into the interior of the inductor. The glow of the light bulb
remain unchanged
will fluctuate
increases
decreases
After inserting the iron rod
As L increases, emf induced across the inductor will increase leaving less voltage across the bulb. Therefore, the glow of the light bulb decreases.
