A student in a physics lab mistakenly wired a light bulb, battery, and switch as shown in Figure 21.44. Explain why the bulb is on when the switch is open, and off when the switch is closed. (Do not try this-it is hard on the battery!)
Referring to Figure CQ28.6, describe what happens to the lightbulb after the switch is closed. Assume the capacitor has a large capacitance and is initially uncharged. Also assume the light illuminates when connected directly across the battery terminals.
What would be the maximum cost of a CFL such that the total cost (investment plus operating) would be the same for both CFL and incandescent 60-W bulbs? Assume the cost of the incandescent bulb is 25 cents and that electricity costs 10 cents/kWh, Calculate the cost for 1000 hours, as in the cost effectiveness of CFL example.

The figure (Figure 1) shows a simplified circuit for a photographic flash unit. This circuit consists of a 9.0-V battery, a 50.0 kΩ resistor, a 140−μF capacitor, a flashbulb, and two switches. Initially, the capacitor is uncharged and the two switches are open. To charge the unit, switch S1 is closed; to fire the flash, switch S2 (which is connected to the camera's shutter) is closed. How long does it take to charge the capacitor to 5.0 V?
