$A$ $2\ \mu F$ capacitor and an $R$ resistor are connected in series to a $200\ V$ $DC$ supply. $A$ neon bulb is connected across the capacitor,which glows at $120\ V$. Calculate the value of $R$ so that the bulb glows for $5\ s$ after the switch is closed. (Given: $\log_{10} 2.5 = 0.4$)

  • A
    $2.7 \times 10^6\ \Omega$
  • B
    $3.3 \times 10^7\ \Omega$
  • C
    $1.3 \times 10^4\ \Omega$
  • D
    $1.7 \times 10^5\ \Omega$
