A hand-cranked generator can be connected to a number of light bulbs via a switch. Is it easier to turn the handle of the generator when the switch is open (i.e. no light bulbs illuminated) or closed, or does it not make any difference? Explain your answer.

What happens to the brightness of A when the switch is closed and identical bulb B also is connected in parallel across the same battery? After the switch is closed, how do bulbs A and B compare in brightness? + A В A dims when the switch is closed, and afterward A = B. A stays the same, afterward A > B. A dims, afterward A B.

202 (A) (B) Figure 1: 1. Refer to figure 1.A. The capacitor is initially uncharged. The switch S is closed at t=0 (a) The time constant of the circuit is RC = (2n)(1F) = 2sec (True, False) (b)After a very long time (t - 0) the voltage and charge of the capacitor are 6.0V and 6.0C respectively. (True, False) (c) At t= ot the voltage across each 1n resistor is 3.0V. (True, Falae) (d)At t= ot the conduction current through the resistors and the displacement current through the capacitor are 34 and 3A respectively. (True, False) (e) The charge on the capacitor is given by q= 6C(1 -e-). And the current follows as I= 3Ae- 2. (True, False) (F) The charge on the capacitor and the current through the circuit after 2 time constant are 5.19C and 0.406A respectively. (True, False) (g) The capacitor at t= ot behaves like a conducting wire[with zero resistance] and at t- o like an open circuit[ with infinite resistance]. (True, False) 2. Refer to figure 1.B. The capacitor is initially uncharged. The…
