The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum power that a battery can deliver to an external circuit, we can use the formula for maximum power transfer, which states: \[ P_{\text{max}} = \frac{E^2}{4r} \] where: - \( P_{\text{max}} \) is the maximum power, - \( E \) is the electromotive force (emf) of the battery, - \( r \) is the internal resistance of the battery. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - The emf of the battery, \( E = 2 \, \text{V} \) - The internal resistance, \( r = 0.5 \, \Omega \) 2. **Substitute the Values into the Formula:** \[ P_{\text{max}} = \frac{E^2}{4r} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ P_{\text{max}} = \frac{(2 \, \text{V})^2}{4 \times 0.5 \, \Omega} \] 3. **Calculate \( E^2 \):** \[ (2 \, \text{V})^2 = 4 \, \text{V}^2 \] 4. **Calculate the Denominator:** \[ 4 \times 0.5 \, \Omega = 2 \, \Omega \] 5. **Calculate \( P_{\text{max}} \):** \[ P_{\text{max}} = \frac{4 \, \text{V}^2}{2 \, \Omega} = 2 \, \text{W} \] 6. **Conclusion:** The maximum power that the battery can deliver to any external circuit is \( 2 \, \text{W} \). ### Final Answer: The maximum power that can be delivered to any external circuit is **2 Watts**.
