A light bulb glows because it has resistance. The brightness of a light bulb increases with the electrical power dissipated in the bulb, (a) In the circuit shown in Fig. Q25.14a, the two bulbs A and B are identical.

Case A: The gap between the capacitor plates is then filled with Teflon with the capacitor still connected directly across the terminals of the EMF. Case B: The capacitor is disconnected from the EMF first before the gap in between the plates is then filled with Teflon. Which statement is true after the Teflon is inserted into the gap? 1.) In case A, ΔVc is unchanged but Q increases to keep the net E field between the plates unchanged. In case B, Q is unchanged but ΔVc decreases due to a smaller net E field between the plates. 2.) In case A, Q is unchanged but ΔVc decreases due to a smaller net E field between the plates. In case B, ΔVc is unchanged but Q increases to keep the net E field between the plates unchanged. 3.)
