Why is the following situation impossible? A technician is testing a circuit that contains a resistance R. He realizes that a better design for the circuit would include a resistance 73R rather than R. He has three additional resistors, each with resistance R. By combining these additional resistors in a certain combination that is then placed in series with the original resistor, he achieves the desired resistance.

(a) A defibrillator sends a 6.00-A current through the chest of a patient by applying a 10,000-V potential as in the figure below. What is the resistance of the path? (b) The defibrillator paddles make contact with the patient through a conducting gel that greatly reduces the path resistance. Discuss the difficulties that would ensue if a larger voltage were used to produce the same current through the patient, but with the path having perhaps 50 times the resistance. (Hint: The current must be about the same, so a higher voltage would imply greater power. Use this equation for power: P=I2 RP = .)

A battery with an internal resistance of 10.0 produces an open circuit voltage of 12.0 V. A variable load resistance with a range from 0 to 30.0 is connected across the battery.

This internal resistance can be represented in a simple circuit diagram as a resistor in series with the battery.) (a) Graph the power dissipated in the load resistor as a function of the load resistance. (b) With your graph, demonstrate the following important theorem: The power delivered to a load is a maximum if the load resistance equals the internal resistance of the source.
