The capacitors in are charged and the switch closes at At what time has the current in the resistor decayed to half the value it had immediately after the switch was closed?
What power is dissipated by the resistor in ?

It seems hard to justify spending for a compact fluorescent lightbulb when an ordinary incandescent bulb costs . To see if this makes sense, compare a incandescent bulb lasting hours to a compact fluorescent bulb having a lifetime of hours. Both bulbs produce the same amount of visible light and are interchangeable. If electricity costs , what is the total cost—purchase plus energy— to obtain hours of light from each type of bulb? This is called the life-cycle cost.
