It is a time delay SWITCH in terms, since it first charges (to its capacitance) and then allows current to pass through it.

so according to the question it needs 110V to charge it up...then y would the lamp even light if the capacitor is not getting 110V..(if R of the resister increases then V also incerases..which decreases the V accross the capacitor ,, right???)

Now more time to accumulate the charges.

They're telling you the magnitude at which the capacitor charges at first, this is a hint.
When 110 V is supplied the capacitor will charge in.. say, 2 minutes whereas when a voltage of 80 V is applied (resistance increased in potential divider), the capacitor will charge in.. say, 3 minutes. This means that it's charging time will increase and the bulb will go on and off less frequently.

thanks...got it!

can any1 plz answer this question! this is from a physics past ppr in Oct 10!

Explain, in outline, how a low-density cloud of hydrogen in space becomes a star.
