A DC source with internal resistance R₀ is connected to three identical resistors each of resistance R as shown in the figure. If the thermal power generated in the circuit is highest, then
Options
- AR=2 R₀
- BR=3 R₀
- CR= R₀ 3
- DR=R₀
Correct answer
B. R=3 R₀
Step-by-step solution
For maximum power, R₀=R_ eq of circuit. Given, resistances are in parallel combination, the equivalent value is aligned & 1 R_ eq = 1 R₀ = 1 R + 1 R + 1 R = 3 R R₀ & = R 3 or R=3 R₀ . aligned
