A cell of emf 2 ~V is connected with a load of resistance 1.5 . The power delivered by the cell to the load is maximum, then power transferred to the load is
Options
- A0.67 ~W
- B2.67 ~W
- C1.33 ~W
- D3.25 ~W
Correct answer
A. 0.67 ~W
Step-by-step solution
For maximum power transfer, internal resistance r = load resistance R . Since R = 1.5 , we have r = 1.5 . Maximum power delivered to load: P_ max = E^2 4R = (2)^2 4 1.5 = 4 6 = 2 3 0.67 W
