A DC source with internal resistance \(R_0\) 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 \(R=2 R_0\)
  2. B \(R=3 R_0\)
  3. C \(R=\frac{R_0}{3}\)
  4. D \(R=R_0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(R=3 R_0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For maximum power, \(R_0=R_{\mathrm{eq}}\) of circuit. Given, resistances are in parallel combination, the equivalent value is…
