A battery of e.m.f. E and internal resistance r is connected to a variable resistor R as shown here. Which one of the following is true
A
Potential difference across the terminals of the battery is maximum when R = r
B
Power delivered to the resistor is maximum when R = r
C
Current in the circuit is maximum when R = r
D
Current in the circuit is maximum when 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
