An AC voltage source of variable angular frequency $$\omega$$ and fixed amplitude V₀ is connected in series with a capacitance C and an electric bulb of resistance R (inductance zero). When $$\omega$$ is increased

STATEMENT 1

A vertical iron rod has a coil of wire wound over it at the bottom end. An alternating current flows in the coil. The rod goes through a conducting ring as shown in the figure. The ring can float at a certain height above the coil.

Because

STATEMENT 2

In the above situation, a current is induced in the ring which interacts with the horizontal component of the magnetic field to produce an average force in the upward direction.
