### Educational Resource: Exploring Power Absorption in Circuits

#### Topic: Optimizing Resistor Power Absorption

The variable resistor (\( R_o \)) in the circuit shown in Figure P4.88 is adjusted until it absorbs maximum power from the circuit.

**Objective:**

1. **Determine the value of \( R_o \) at maximum power absorption.**
2. **Calculate the maximum power that \( R_o \) can absorb.**
3. **Evaluate the percentage of the total power developed in the circuit that is delivered to \( R_o \).**

**Figure P4.88 Explanation:**

The circuit in Figure P4.88 consists of the following components:
- A 60 V voltage source connected in series with:
  - A 2 Ω resistor
  - A 4i_Δ dependent current source
  - A 5 Ω resistor
  - A 4 Ω resistor
  - A variable resistor \( R_o \)
- An additional dependent voltage source with a value of 2v_Δ in parallel with \( R_o \).

The voltages v_Δ and current i_Δ are variables within the circuit influenced by these components.

#### Problems to Solve:

##### a) Finding the Value of \( R_o \):

Determine the resistance \( R_o \) which allows maximum power transfer according to the Maximum Power Transfer Theorem. The theorem states that maximum power is delivered to the load (in this case, \( R_o \)) when the load resistance equals the Thevenin resistance of the circuit as seen from the load terminals.

##### b) Finding the Maximum Power:

Calculate the maximum power absorbed by \( R_o \) once its optimal value is obtained. Use the formula for power (P) in the resistor:
\[ P = \frac{V_{th}^2}{4R_{th}} \]
Where \( V_{th} \) is the Thevenin equivalent voltage and \( R_{th} \) is the Thevenin equivalent resistance.

##### c) Percentage of Total Power Delivered:

Finally, calculate the percentage of the total power developed in the circuit that is delivered to \( R_o \). This can be done by comparing the power absorbed by \( R_o \) to the total power supplied by the source.

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{P_{R_o}}{P_{total}} \right) \times 100\
