Chapter 2, Problem 2.44P
Suppose we have a load that absorbs power and requires a current varying between 0 and 50 mA. The voltage across the load must remain between 4.7 and 5.0 V. A 15-V source is available. Design a voltage-divider network to supply the load. You may assume that resistors of any value desired are available. Also, determine the maximum power for each resistor.
