The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

When a soft iron rod is inserted into the coil then its magnetism increases, due to which induced e.m.f. increase and it will oppose the external c.m.f. so e.m.f. across bulb increases, so the intensity of bulb increases.

AC Voltage

When voltage changes its direction after every half cycle is known as alternating voltage. The current flows in the circuit at that time are known as alternating current. The alternating current(AC) follows the sine function which changes its polarity concerning time. Most of the electrical devices are operating on the ac voltage.
