Question: (a) In Fig. 27-4a, show that the rate at which energy is dissipated in Ras thermal energy is a maximum when R =r. (b) Show that this maximum power is P=2/4r.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  • a)The rate at which the energy is dissipated in R as thermal energy is a maximum when R =r .
  • b) The maximum power value isP=2/4r .

Step by step solution

01

The given data

In the given circuit, the battery with an emf of and internal resistance r with an external resistance R is given.

02

Understanding the concept of power

The rate at which the energy is dissipated as thermal energy to an external resistor is called the output power of the battery. Thus, using the concept of Ohm's law, the maximum rate value can be calculated for the relation of external and internal resistances.

Formulae:

The rate at which energy is dissipated as thermal energy to a resistor,

P=I2R (i)

The voltage equation using Ohm鈥檚 law,

V =IR (ii)

Here l is the current, and R is the resistance.

03

a) Calculation of the condition of the maximum rate of dissipated energy

From the given figure, the current flow in the circuit is given using equation (ii), as follows:

I=R+r

Now, using this current value in equation (i) and then equating the differentiation value of power with the resistance to zero will give the following maximum condition as follows:


dPdR=0dR+r2RdR=0d2RR+r2dR=0solvingfurtheras,2R+r2-2R+r2RR+r4=02R2+2r2+22Rr-22R2-22Rr=02r2-2R2=0R=r

Hence, it is shown that the rate of dissipation is maximum at the condition R =r.

04

b) Calculation of the maximum power

Now, using the current value from part (a) in equation (i), the rate of dissipation or the power output of the given circuit can be given as follows:

P=R+r2R

Thus, the maximum power of the circuit can be given using the above condition R =r as follows:
P=r+r2r=2r4r2=24r

Hence, the maximum power is24r .

Question: Slide flash. Figure indicates one reason no one should stand under a tree during a lightning storm. If lightning comes down the side of the tree, a portion can jump over to the person, especially if the current on the tree reaches a dry region on the bark and thereafter must travel through air to reach the ground. In the figure, part of the lightning jumps through distance in air and then travels through the person (who has negligible resistance relative to that of air). The rest of the current travels through air alongside the tree, for a distance h. Ifand the total current is, what is the current through the person?

When the lights of a car are switched on, an ammeter in series with them reads10.0 Aand a voltmeter connected across them reads12.0 V(Fig. 27-60). When the electric starting motor is turned on, the ammeter reading drops to8.00 Aand the lights dim somewhat. If the internal resistance of the battery is0.0500 ohmand that of the ammeter is negligible, what are (a) the emf of the battery and (b) the current through the starting motor when the lights are on?
