When a resistor \(R\) is connected to a battery, the current measured is \(2\ \text{A}\) when \(R = 4\ \Omega\) and \(1\ \text{A}\) when \(R = 9\ \Omega\). Assuming the battery has an emf \(E\) and an internal resistance \(r\), (a) find the values of \(E\) and \(r\); (b) what external resistance would give the maximum power delivered to the external circuit, and what is that maximum power?

Answer Options

A. E = 10 V; r = 2 Ω; external resistance for maximum power = 2 Ω; maximum power = 20 W
B. E = 12 V; r = 2 Ω; external resistance for maximum power = 2 Ω; maximum power = 18 W
C. E = 8 V; r = 0.5 Ω; external resistance for maximum power = 0.5 Ω; maximum power = 16 W
Correct Answer D. E = 10 V; r = 1 Ω; external resistance for maximum power = 1 Ω; maximum power = 25 W
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
E = 10 V; r = 1 Ω; external resistance for maximum power = 1 Ω; maximum power = 25 W
