A 24 V battery of internal resistance 4 Ω is connected to a variable resistance. If the rate of heat production in the resistor is maximum, then the current in the circuit is
Options
- A2 A
- B3 A
- C4 A
- D6 A
Correct answer
B. 3 A
Step-by-step solution
When R = r (power dissipated is maximum) ∴   R = 4  Ω ∴   I = V R n e t =   24 8 =   3   A
