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. R=2R0
  2. R=3R0
  3. R=R03
  4. R=R0

Solution

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=R3R=3R0
