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?
For a limited time interval, the voltage across a 1.35 microfarads (or, equivalently,
1.35 x 10-6 farads) capacitor is modelled by
v(t) = 4.05 + 26.3t + 29.1t² volts,
where t is the time in seconds. Recall that, in this case, the current function is given by
i(t) = Cv' (t), where the current, capacitance, and voltage is given in amperes,
farads, and volts, respectively.
(a) Find the current function.
