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

  1. A R=2R0
  2. B R=3R0
  3. C R=R03
  4. D R=R0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) R=3R0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In case of the highest power generated the value of internal resistance should be equal to a total external resistance, here all three external resistance are connected in parallel, ⇒R0=R3⇒R=3R0
