The variable resistor in the circuit shown in Fig. P10.47 is adjusted until maximum

Chapter 10, Problem 10.47

(choose chapter or problem)

The variable resistor \(R_{o}\) in the circuit shown in Fig. P10.47 is adjusted until maximum average power is delivered to \(R_{o}\).

a) What is the value of \(R_{o}\) in ohms?

b) Calculate the average power delivered to \(R_{o}\).

c) If \(R_{o}\) is replaced with a variable impedance \(Z_{o}\), what is the maximum average power that can be delivered to \(Z_{o}\)?

d) In (c), what percentage of the circuit’s developed power is delivered to the load \(Z_{o}\)?
