A source with emf Ԑ and internal resistance r is connected to an external circuit (a) Show that the power output of the source is maximum when the current in the circuit is one-half the short-circuit current of the source. (b) If the external circuit consists of a resistance R, show that the power output is maximum when R = r and that the maximum power is Ԑ2/4r.
