1. An AC source with a frequency of 60 Hz is connected to a lightbulb. The instantaneous brightness ofthe lightbulb depends on the magnitude of the instantaneous current. Explain why the brightness of abulb can flicker (i.e., oscillate with time) and find the frequency of the flicker. Why don't we notice theflicker?2. Discuss why it is relatively easy to change the amplitude of an AC voltage to a higher or lower value, butwhy it is difficult to change its frequency.3. An LC circuit is called an oscillator. What, physically, is oscillating in such a circuit? What variables areperiodic?

Since you have asked multiple questions, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any…
