5 batteries are connected in parallel to supply current to a load resistance for heating. Each battery consists of 12 cells in series. The emf per cell is 2V and the individual cell resistance is 0.15 ohms. What should be the resistance of the load so that the power consumed by the load is maximized?
KVL and KCL
KVL stands for Kirchhoff voltage law. KVL states that the total voltage drops around the loop in any closed electric circuit is equal to the sum of total voltage drop in the same closed loop.
Sign Convention
Science and technology incorporate some ideas and techniques of their own to understand a system skilfully and easily. These techniques are called conventions. For example: Sign conventions of mirrors are used to understand the phenomenon of reflection and refraction in an easier way.
