The purpose of choke in a fluorescent lamp is :

A. To increase the current flow

B. To decrease the current flow

C. To decrease the resistance

D. Ro decrease the voltage momentarily

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The choke primarily serves to limit current flow to the correct level for the tube. It also can be used during startup to provide an inductive ‘kick’ forming a momentary higher-voltage pulse to start the lamp.
