Answer the following question:

A choke coil in series with a lamp is connected to a dc line. The lamp is seen to shine brightly. Insertion of an iron core in the choke causes no change in the lamp’s brightness. Predict the corresponding observations if the connection is to an A.C. line.

When an iron core is connected in series with the lamp connected to the A.C. line then the choke coil and iron will increase the impedance and the lamp will glow dim.
