A student has designed a circuit with one battery, two light bulbs, and two switches, pictured to the left. She would like for e
ach switch to control one light bulb, so that when one switch is open and the other is closed, one of the light bulbs will remain lit. From the image, we can see that neither light bulb is lit, even though one of the switches is closed. What is the error the student made? Your explanation should include a discussion of the flow of electrons in the circuit.

Explanation:
- In a RC circuit we call time constant to the product of the resistance times the capacitance, which represents the time when the charge reaches to the 63% of the final value, as follows:
- If we have a new circuit with new values for R and C, the time constant will be defined in the same way, as follows:
