Question

it is desired to obtain the Thevenin equivalent of a non-ideal battery. When no load is connected, the terminal voltage of the battery (that is, the voltage across nodes a and b) is measured to be 12.4 volts. When a 30-watt load is connected, the terminal voltage of the battery drops to 12 volts.
1. What is the Thevenin resistance of the Thevenin equivalent for this battery?
2. A load is connected to source network. At the terminals of the source to which the load is connected, Vth=120 volts and Rth=10 ohms. What should be the resistance of the load so that it will draw the maximum power possible from the source network?

a. 110 ohms

b. 10 ohms

c. 1440 ohms

d. 0 ohms

e. 12 ohms
