    Q1. Why does a fluorescent lamp require a choke coil in AC circuits?

    • A) Limit starting current surge
    • B) Produce high voltage for ionization
    • C) Store energy during voltage peaks
    • D) Reduce flicker perception

    Answer: Limit starting current surge

    Explanation: Choke limits current without wasting energy. Option B describes a ballast function but not the choke's primary role.
