Cells: EMF, Internal Resistance & Combinations

A battery of e.m.f 10 V10\text{ V} and internal resistance 0.5 Ω0.5\ \Omega is connected across a variable resistance RR. The value of RR for which the power delivered in it is maximum is given by

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Maximum power transfer theorem: power in RR is maximum when R=rR = r.
  2. R=0.5 ΩR = 0.5\ \Omega. So the answer is (a).
