★ Current i in the circuit is given as,
i = E / (R+r) .......1)
where E is EMF of battery , R is external Resistance and r is internal resistance .
At maximum power , external resistance R equals the internal resistance.
From graph, we see that , we get maximum power 5 W when the current is 5 A.
Hence we have , i2 × R = i2 × r = 5 W
if i = 5 A , then we have 25 × r = 5 W or r = 0.2 Ω
EMF of battery is obtained from eqn.(1) by substituting internal resistance value.
When power dissipation in external resistance R is maximum, we have
i = E / ( r + R ) = E / (2r)
Hence EMF E = i × (2r) = 5 × (0.4) = 2 V
