Make the following predictions on the basis of your observations of this circuit.
Make the following predictions on the basis of your observations of this circuit. Do not use a voltmeter. I. Just after the switch is closed: • What is 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 differences across the two capacitors? Explain. • Is the final charge on capacitor I greater than, less than, or equal to the final charge on capacitor 2? Explain. • Is the potential difference across capacitor 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the potential difference across capacitor 2? Explain. Use the voltmeter to check your predictions in part B.
