$A$ resistor $R$ and a $2 \ \mu F$ capacitor in series are connected through a switch to a $200 \ V$ direct supply. Across the capacitor is a neon bulb that lights up at $120 \ V$. Calculate the value of $R$ to make the bulb light up $5 \ s$ after the switch has been closed. (Given: $\log_{10} 2.5 = 0.4$)

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