Make the following prediction on the basis of your observations of this circuit. Do not use a voltmeter.
-
1. Just after the switch is closed:
• What id the potential difference across the bulb? Explain how you can tell from the brightness of the bulb.
• What is the potential difference across each of the capacitors? Explain your reasoning.
-
2. A long time after the switch is closed:
• What is the potential difference across the bulb? Explain how you can tell.
• What is the sum of the potential difference across the two capacitors? Explain.
• Is the final charge on capacitor 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the final charge on capacitor 2? Explain.
Use the voltmeter to check your predictions in part B.

I am having trouble with this part of the lab.arrow_forwardMick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?arrow_forward
