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?
