Consider a series circuit containing a resistor of resistance R and a capacitor of capacitance C connected to a source of EMF with negligible internal resistance. The wires are also assumed to have zero resistance. Initially, the switch is open and the capacitor discharged. (Figure 1)

1) Immediately after the switch is closed, what is the voltage across the resistor?

2) Immediately after the switch is closed, what is the direction of the current in the circuit?

A battery has an emf ε and internal resistance r. A variable load resistor R is connected across the terminals of the battery.

(a) Determine the value of R such that the potential difference across the terminals is a maximum.

(b) Determine the value of R so that the current in the circuit is a maximum.

Choosing the load resistance for maximum power transfer is a case of what is called impedance matching in general. Impedance matching is important in shifting gears on a bicycle, in connecting a loudspeaker to an audio ampliﬁer, in connecting a battery charger to a bank of solar photoelectric cells, and in many other applications.

An ideal voltmeter connected across a certain fresh 9-V battery reads 9.30 V, and an ideal ammeter briefly connected across the same battery reads 3.70 A. We say the battery has an open-circuit voltage of 9.30 V and a short-circuit current of 3.70 A. Model the battery as a source of emf ε in series with an internal resistance r as in Figure 27.1a. Determine both (a) ε and (b) r.
