Question
Shown is a circuit consisting of a battery, a switch, two identical lightbulbs, and a capacitor that is initially uncharged.
a. Immediately after the switch is closed, are either or both bulbs glowing? Explain.
b. If both bulbs are glowing, which is brighter? Or are they equally bright? Explain.
c. For any bulb (A or B or both) that lights up immediately after the switch is closed, does its brightness increase with time, decrease with time, or remain unchanged? Explain.

The circuit contains four parallel plate capacitors, all initially uncharged and with no dielectric material between their plates.

Give brief physics (not math!) explanations for the observation that the time constant (how long it takes to discharge) is proportional to both C and R. Why is the time constant proportional to R (i.e. why does it take longer when R is bigger)? Why is the time constant proportional to C (i.e. why does it take longer when C is bigger)?
