  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 5 ohm resistor is connected in series with a variable resistor. The maximum power is transferred when variable resistor is

    • A) 0 ohm
    • B) 5 ohm
    • C) 10 ohm
    • D) 15 ohm

    Answer: 5 ohm

    Explanation: For maximum power transfer, the internal resistance (5 ohm) should equal the external resistance, hence variable resistor = 5 ohm
