Chapter 28, Problem 28.4P
As in Example 27.2, consider a power supply with fixed emf ε and internal resistance r causing current in a load resistance R. In this problem, R is fixed and r is a variable. The efficiency is defined as the energy delivered to the load divided by the energy delivered by the emf. (a) When the internal resistance is adjusted for maximum power transfer, what is the efficiency? (b) What should be the internal resistance for maximum possible efficiency? (c) When the electric company sells energy to a customer, does it have a goal of high efficiency or of maximum power transfer? Explain. (d) When a student connects a loudspeaker to an amplifier, does she most want high efficiency or high power transfer? Explain.

A capacitor that is initially uncharged is connected in series with a resistor and a 300.0 V emf source with negligible internal resistance. Just after the circuit is completed, the current through the resistor is 0.950 mA and the time constant for the circuit is 6.00 s.
(A) What is the resistance of the resistor? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
(B) What is the capacitance of the capacitor? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
(a) In the figure what value must R have if the current in the circuit is to be 1.1 mA? Take ε1 = 1.5 V, ε2 = 3.5 V, and r1 = r2 = 4.0 Ω. (b) What is the rate at which thermal energy appears in R?
Please be specific about the units in the work and the final answer.
A RC circuit is constructed with a (initially uncharged) 5.00-µF capacitor and a 5.00-
ohm resistor, which are connected in series to an ideal battery with emf 60.0 V. At a
certain time after the circuit is connected, it is found that heat is being produced in
the resistor at a rate of 300 W. How much energy is stored in the capacitor at that
time (in Joules)?
