Textbook Question
Chapter 25, Problem 69P
You’re writing the instruction manual for a stereo amplifier with a maximum output of 100 W. The amplifier can be modeled as an emf in series with an 8-Ω resistance. What should you specify for the loudspeaker resistance to be used with the amplifier? How much power can the amplifier deliver to a speaker with half the optimum resistance?

The figure below shows a simple RC circuit with a 2.90-µF capacitor, a 2.60-MΩ resistor, a 9.00-V emf, and a switch. What are the following exactly 7.00 s after the switch is closed?
(a) the charge on the capacitor µC(b) the current in the resistor µA(c) the rate at which the capacitor is storing energy µW(d) the rate at which the battery is delivering energy µW
For an circuit consisting of a resistance R, a capacitor C and an emf E in series, make two graphs with proper labels showing how the voltage across the resistor and the charge on the capacitor will change in time– assuming that the capacitor is initially uncharged.
To get the minimum current, the connection should be in series. If you create a series connection with 30V DC source and three resistors with R1 = 50Ω, R2 = 75Ω, and R3 = 100Ω, how do you calculate for the total current (IT) and the current flowing in each resistor (I1, I2, I3), and the total voltage (VT) and the voltage across each resistor (V1, V2, V3)? How do you also determine the power dissipated by each resistor (P1, P2, P3) and by the whole circuit (PT)??
