A Christmas light is made to flash via the discharge of a capacitor. The effective duration of the flash is 0.21 s (which you can assume is the time constant of the capacitor), during which it produces an average 35 mW from an average voltage of 2.85 V.
What is the resistance, in ohms, of the light?
