Question diagram: In the circuit shown, the resistance r is a variable resista

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:



Power in “r”

P= I 2 2 r= [ I× R R+r ] 2 r= I 2 R 2 r ( R+r ) 2

P= [ E R+ R×fR R+fR ] 2 R 2 ( fR ) ( R+fR ) 2 = E 2 R 2 fR R 2 [ 1+ f ( f+1 ) ] 2 R 2 ( 1+f ) 2

P= E 2 f R ( 1+2f ) 2

For P( max ) dP df =0

E 2 R =[ ( 1+2f ) 2 f{ 2( 1+2f )( 0+2 ) } ( 1+2f ) 2 ]=0

( 1+2f ) 2 =4f( 1+2f )

1+2f=4f

f= 1 2
