A guitarist has an amplifier with an output resistance of 8Ω.  There are two speakers available, one has a resistance of  8Ω and the other 4Ω. They are otherwise identical. Calculate the power delivered to each speaker for a fixed input voltage and determine which speaker would be preferable to  generate the maximum volume (i.e. the maximum power in  the speaker).
