Solution Summary

The capacitor circuit, charge distribution and brightness of the bulb is analyzed. Capacitance is analyzed. With good explanations and calculations, the problem is solved.

Solution Preview

In DC circuit the circuits with capacitance act as open circuits. Therefore, in the given circuit the bulb will not light.

BUT! when you switch on (capacitor charging) or switch off (capacitor discharging), the bulb will light for a ...
