Solved: Figure 27-64 shows the circuit of a flashing lamp,

Chapter 27, Problem 62

(choose chapter or problem)

Figure 27-64 shows the circuit of a flashing lamp, like those attached to barrels at highway construction sites. The fluorescent lamp L (of negligible + capacitance) is connected in parallel - across the capacitor C of an RC circuit. There is a current through the lamp only when the potential difference across it reaches the breakdown voltage V L; then the capacitor discharges R Fig. 27-64 62. completely through the lamp and the lamp flashes briefly. For a lamp with breakdown voltage VL = 72.0 V, wired to a 95.0 V ideal battery and a 0.150 J.LF capacitor, what resistance R is needed for two flashes per second?
