What is the purpose of starter and choke in tube light?

Answer Posted / vignesh

a capacitor connected in parallel with flourescent lamp is
called starter. to strike a flourescent lamp a sudden
discharge is required in the tube. a starter provides this
initial spark. when a tube light arrangement is connected to
the supply, starter charges, a starter current foows during
this session. on reaching the striking voltage, the starter
discharges and a sudden current flows in the tube ionising
the gas and giving it the glow
