Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 583

Question: Two cells, e.m.f. of each is $ E $ and internal resistance $ r $ are connected in parallel between the resistance $ R $ . The maximum energy given to the resistor will be, only when

[MNR 1988; MP PET 2000; UPSEAT 2001]

Options:

A) $ R=r/2 $

B) $ R=r $

C) $ R=2r $

D) $ R=0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

For maximum energy, we have External resistance of the circuit = Equivalent internal resistance of the circuit i.e. $ R=\frac{r}{2} $
