The Physics 242 Puzzler

Well, I warned you in class last week that I had just thought of nice puzzle. So here it is. Describe subjectively, but in detail,the time behavior of the light bulb in the center branch of the circuit shown. That is, what is its relative brightness when the switch is first thrown at t = zero, at t = infinity, and at times in between. Be specific and, as always, defend your answer!
