Question
For an ideal battery (r=0?), closing the switch in the figure (Figure 1) does not affect the brightness of bulb A. In practice, bulb A dims just a little when the switch closes. To see why, assume that the 2.0 V battery has an internal resistance 0.2 ? and that the resistance of a glowing bulb is 8.0 ? .
Part A
What is the current through bulb A when the switch is open?
Part B
What is the current through bulb A after the switch has closed?
Part C
By what percent does the current through A change when the switch is closed?
