For the circuit show, all wires have negligible resistance, the battery has a constant internal resistance of r=8.0Ω and the two light bulbs B1 and B2 are identical, each with resistance Rbulb . The variable resistor is initially set R=26.0Ω. The switch S in the circuit now is closed. To what resistance must the variable resistor be set if bulb B1 is to have the same brightness after the switch is closed as it did with the switch open?
