Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.93P
A battery can be modeled by a voltage source Vt in series with a resistance Rt. Assuming that the load resistance is selected to maximize the power delivered, what percentage of the power taken from the voltage source Vt is actually delivered to the load? Suppose that RL=9Rt; what percentage of the power taken from Vt is delivered to the load? Usually, we want to design battery-operated systems so that nearly all of the energy stored in the battery is delivered to the load. Should we design for maximum power transfer?

A resistor of resistance ? is supplied by a battery which consists of voltage source ? in series with an internal resistance ?. Plot the power ? as a function of the resistance ? for 1 Ω < ? < 10 Ω given that ? = 12 V and ? = 4 Ω. From the resulting plot, when does the maximum power transfer occur and what is this maximum power being dissipated by the load?
Under DC conditions, in steady state, find the current i and the voltage Vo.
Note:Please describe what method/application you are using in each step. (so I can understand it)
Bioelectrical impedance analysis is a commercially available method used to estimate body fat percentage. The device applies a small potential between two parts of the patient's body and measures the current that flows through. With an estimate of the resistance individually of the muscle and fat between the two points, the composition of the tissue can be estimated. Assume that the muscle and fat tissue can be modeled as resistors in parallel.
a) If a potential difference of 5 V is applied across the patient's arm, what is the potential drop across the patient's fat?
b) If the measured resistance of the patient's arm is 750 Ω and the resistance of fat is 3 times that of muscle, what is the resistance of the muscle?
