Question:
For the real battery shown in Figure P23.55, calculate the power dissipated by a resistor \(R\) connected to the battery when
(a) \(R=0.25 \Omega\),
(b) \(R=0.50 \Omega\),
(c) \(R=1.0 \Omega\),
(d) \(R=2.0 \Omega\), and
(e) \(R=4.0 \Omega\). (Your results should suggest that maximum power dissipation is achieved when the external resistance \(R\) equals the internal resistance. This is true in general.)
