Chapter 9, Problem 35P

a. For the network of Fig. 9.147, determine the value of R for maximum power to R.

b. Determine the maximum power to R.

c. Plot a curve of power to R versus R for R ranging from 1/4 to 2 times the value determined in part (a) using an increment of 1/4 the value of R. Does the curve verify the fact that the chosen value of R in part (a) will ensure maximum power transfer?
