An AC source with a frequency of 60 Hz is connected to a lightbulb. The instantaneous brightness
Question:
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?
