Consider all possible values of R in circuit shown. Then the maximum possible rate at which energy can be supplied by the ideal battery to the given combination of resistors is equal to

a
10 W
b
13.3 W
c
16 W
d
20 W

detailed solution

Correct option is D

So here we want power delivered by battery should be maximumPower delivered by battery (V) to a resistance (R)P=V2RSo, for a given battery if R is minimum then P is maximumSo, hereIf R = 0 then equivalent resistance of circuit is minimum so 10 ΩIt would be short circuited So equivalent resistance of circuitReq=20ΩP=(20)2(20)=20W
