A lamp with a breakdown (threshold) voltage of 100 V is hooked in parallel to a capacitor. The capacitor begins to charge from a 130 V power supply through a 2E6 ohm resistor.

a. If the light flashes 4 times per second, what is the capacitance of the capacitor?

b. Describe what happens as the light flashes (what happens to start the flash, what happens during the flash, what happens as the flash ends.)

Suppose you have a circuit with a 10 volt battery hooked up to a 100 ohm light bulb and a variable resistor of R ohms. The light bulb and the resistor can be hooked up in series or parallel. Draw both these circuits and label them as series or parallel and with the values of each component. Now, solve for the current in the light bulb in each of these circuits for R = 10, 100, and 1000 Ohms. Given...
