A battery with internal resistance of \(4 \Omega\) is connected to a circuit consisting three resistances, \(R, 2 R\) and \(4 R\) (see following figure). If the power generated in the circuit is highest, then the magnitude of \(R\) must be

  1. A \(4 \Omega\)
  2. B \(7 \Omega\)
  3. C \(10 \Omega\)
  4. D \(14 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(7 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For maximum power output, external resistance value must be equals to internal resistance of source. In given circuit, \(R, 2 R\) and \(4 R\) resistance are in parallel and their equivalent resistance is \(R_{\mathrm{eq}}\). So,…
