A battery of internal resistance 4Omega ...

A battery of internal resistance `4Omega` is connected to the network of resistance as shown . In order that the maximum power can be delivered to the network, the value of R in `Omega` should be
.

A

`(4)/(9)`

B

`2`

C

`(8)/(3)`

D

`18`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
For the maximum power , external resistance is equal to internal resistance. Therefore, `2 R = 4 or R = 2 Omega`.
