I think the limiting factor will be the inductance of the wire and lightbulb filament, which sustains a current even when the switch attempts to break the circuit!
- pixl97 2y agoYou'll have to get a planck switch and a single electron bulb... problem is it may or may not exist at any given moment, especially where you want it.
- taneq 2y agoOoh good point! Whatever kind of light bulb it is, it will (through inductance, thermal mass or fluorescence) continue to glow (which I’m counting as being “on”) for at least 1/60th of a second after losing AC power. So I’d say it will be glowing quite a lot at the 2 minute mark even if the switch components are forming their own singularity right nearby.
