A resistor with resistance R is connected to a battery that has emf 13.0 V and internal resistance r = 0.350 Ω . For what two values of R will the power dissipated in the resistor be 81.0 W ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

R = 1,746 Ω

Explanation:

The power dissipated in the circuit is

   P = V I = V² / R

Let's find the current

   R = V² / P

Let's calculate

  R = 13²/81

   R = 2,096 Ω

This is total resistance

  R_total = R + r

   R = R_total - r

   R = 2,096 -0,350

   R = 1,746 Ω

The two values of R when the power dissipated is 81 W are 1.74 ohms or -0.35 ohms.

The given parameters;

  • emf of the battery, E = 13 V
  • internal resistance of the battery, r = 0.35

The current flowing in the circuit is calculated as follows;

E = IR + Ir

E = I(R + r)

[tex]I = \frac{E}{R+r}[/tex] -----(1)

The power dissipated in the circuit is calculated as follows;

P = I²(R + r)

[tex]I^2 = \frac{P}{R+ r} \\\\I = \sqrt{\frac{P}{R+ r} } \ \ ---(2)[/tex]

solve (1) and (2) together;

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{P}{R+ r} } = \frac{E}{R+r} \\\\\frac{P}{R+ r} = \frac{E^2}{(R+r)^2} \\\\\frac{P}{R+ r} = \frac{E^2}{R^2 + 2Rr + r^2} \\\\E^2(R+r) = P(R^2 + 2Rr + r^2)\\\\13^2(R+ 0.35) = 81(R^2 + 2(0.35)R + (0.35)^2)\\\\169R + 59.15 = 81R^2 + 56.7R + 9.923\\\\81R^2 -112.3R -49.23 = 0\\\\Solve \ the \ quadratic \ equation\ using formula \ method;\\\\a = 81, \ b = -112.3, \ c = -49.23\\\\ R = \frac{-b \ \ +/- \ \ \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a} \\\\[/tex]

[tex]R = \frac{-(-112.3)\ \ +/- \ \ \sqrt{(-112.3)^2 -4(81\times -49.23)} }{2(81)}\\\\R = 1.74 \ ohms \ \ or \ \ -0.35 \ ohms[/tex]

Thus, the two values of R when the power dissipated is 81 W are 1.74 ohms or -0.35 ohms.
