In the circuit What should be the value of r in ohmso that power developed in the resistor r will be maximum ?

Answer»


Solution :The equivalent circuit with the distribution of curciut is

Using kirchhoff's SECOND law, in closed circuit `ABEFA` we have
`6 I_(1) = 3(I_(1) +I_(2)) - V = 0`
or `V = 9 I_(1)+3I_(2)`….(i) Usingkirchhoff's second law , in closed circuit `BCDEB` we have
`R I_(2) - 6 I_(2) = 0 or I_(1) = (I_(2))/(6) r`
From (i)
`V = 9 xx (I_(2))/(6) r + 3I_(2) = (3)/(2) I_(2) r + 3I_(2) = (3I_(2))/(2) (r + 2)`
or `I_(2) = (2V)/(3(r+2))`
Power develeped in resisteor `r`,
`P = I_(2)^(2) = (4V^(2))/(9(r+2)^(2)) xx r`
Power developed is maximum, when `(r+ 2)^(2)` is minimum
or `(r+ 2)^(2) = 0`
or `r^(2) + 4R + 4 = 0`
or `r^(2) - 4r + 4 + 8 r = 0`
or `(r - 2)^(2) + 8r = 0 or r = 2 Omega`
