i. The switch is first moved to position 1. Describe the behavior of the bulb from just after the switch is closed until a long time later. Explain.
ii. The switch is now moved to position 2. Describe the behavior of the bulb from just after the switch is closed until a long time later. Explain your reasoning.

The behavior of the bulb from just after the switch is closed until a long time later in the situation when the switch is first moved to position
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Consider the circuit shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1
The brightness of the bulb depends upon the current flowing through that bulb. The bulb will be brighter if the flow of current through that bulb is high. In other words, more current passes through less resistance that mean if the resistance is less then bulb will appear brighter.
The circuit diagram when the switch is at position
Figure 2
Initially, thecapacitor is short circuited and starts charging slowly. As thecurrent decays with respect to time, the bulb initially glows, but later it goes dimmer with time, and after a long time it stops glowing.
If it stops glowing, the capacitor comes in the open circuit condition and the current flow across it is zero.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the behavior of the bulb from just after the switch is closed until a long time later is described above.

Figure 3
The capacitor voltage is equal to battery voltage at the initial stage.After this, capacitor startsdischarging and the currentdecays with time. So, blub glows bright initially, but thengoes dimmer with time, and after long timeit stops glowing.
If it stops glowing, the capacitor comes in the open circuit condition and the current flow across it is zero.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the behavior of the bulb from just after the switch is closed until a long time later is described above.

It is given that v= 0.30 and E= 29 × 106 psi. 1-in. diameter P P -8 in. Determine the change in diameter of the rod. (Round the final answer to six decimal places.) The change in diameter of the rod is - in.arrow_forward5.84 ... If the coefficient of static friction between a table and a uni- form, massive rope is μs, what fraction of the rope can hang over the edge of the table without the rope sliding? 5.97 Block A, with weight Figure P5.97 3w, slides down an inclined plane S of slope angle 36.9° at a constant speed while plank B, with weight w, rests on top of A. The plank is attached by a cord to the wall (Fig. P5.97). (a) Draw a diagram of all the forces acting on block A. (b) If the coefficient of kinetic friction is the same between A and B and between S and A, determine its value.

He stops to rest at the middle of the rope (Fig. P5.60). The rope will break if the tension in it exceeds 2.50 X 104 N, and our hero's mass is 90.0 kg. (a) If the angle is 10.0°, what is the tension in the rope? (b) What is the smallest value can have if the rope is not to break? Figure P5.60arrow_forward

(a) What is the minimum coefficient of static friction that will prevent sliding? (b) Suppose that the highway is icy and the coefficient of static friction between the tires and pavement is only one-third of what you found in part (a). What should be the maximum speed of the car so that it can round the curve safely?arrow_forward5.77 A block with mass m₁ is placed on an inclined plane with slope angle a and is connected to a hanging block with mass m₂ by a cord passing over a small, frictionless pulley (Fig. P5.74). The coef- ficient of static friction is μs, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is Mk. (a) Find the value of m₂ for which the block of mass m₁ moves up the plane at constant speed once it is set in motion. (b) Find the value of m2 for which the block of mass m₁ moves down the plane at constant speed once it is set in motion. (c) For what range of values of m₂ will the blocks remain at rest if they are released from rest?arrow_forward
- 5.78 .. DATA BIO The Flying Leap of a Flea. High-speed motion pictures (3500 frames/second) of a jumping 210 μg flea yielded the data to plot the flea's acceleration as a function of time, as shown in Fig. P5.78. (See "The Flying Leap of the Flea," by M. Rothschild et al., Scientific American, November 1973.) This flea was about 2 mm long and jumped at a nearly vertical takeoff angle. Using the graph, (a) find the initial net external force on the flea. How does it compare to the flea's weight? (b) Find the maximum net external force on this jump- ing flea. When does this maximum force occur? (c) Use the graph to find the flea's maximum speed. Figure P5.78 150 a/g 100 50 1.0 1.5 0.5 Time (ms)arrow_forward5.4 ⚫ BIO Injuries to the Spinal Column. In the treatment of spine injuries, it is often necessary to provide tension along the spi- nal column to stretch the backbone. One device for doing this is the Stryker frame (Fig. E5.4a, next page). A weight W is attached to the patient (sometimes around a neck collar, Fig. E5.4b), and fric- tion between the person's body and the bed prevents sliding. (a) If the coefficient of static friction between a 78.5 kg patient's body and the bed is 0.75, what is the maximum traction force along the spi- nal column that W can provide without causing the patient to slide? (b) Under the conditions of maximum traction, what is the tension in each cable attached to the neck collar?
