Bulbs A and B in FIGURE Q28.12 are identical, and both are glowing. What happens to each bulb when the switch is closed? Does its brightness increase, stay the same, decrease, or go out? Explain

The switch in FIGURE CP28.80 has been closed for a very long time.
a. What is the charge on the capacitor?
b. The switch is opened at t = 0 s. At what time has the charge on the capacitor decreased to 10% of its initial value?

The five identical bulbs in FIGURE are all glowing. The battery is ideal. What is the order of brightness of the bulbs, from brightest to dimmest? Some may be equal.
A.
B.
C.
D.
