Question
1. An AC source with a frequency of 60 Hz is connected to a lightbulb. The instantaneous brightness of the lightbulb depends on the magnitude of the instantaneous current. Explain why the brightness of a bulb can flicker (i.e., oscillate with time) and find the frequency of the flicker. Why don't we notice the flicker? 2. Discuss why it is relatively easy to change the amplitude of an AC voltage to a higher or lower value, but why 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 are periodic?
