(1 pt) Three identical light bulbs are connected in parallel to a constant voltage power supply. Initially switch Si is closed and the other two switches open. When the other two switches, S and s, are closed the brightness of the first light bulb a is dimmer. (b.) is unchanged. c. is brighter. d. depends on how long the switches are on. e.

(2 pt) A charged capacitor has an initial electric field E o and potential difference Vo across its plates. Without connecting any source of emf, you insert a dielectric (k > 1) slab between the plates to produce an electric field E d and a potential difference Vd across the capacitor.
