276 Aptitude Test Problems in Physics
The voltage across each of the resistors RI and
R, can be determined from the formula
gRin,
LI R2=1S-Ir-
rRs+ R 2 (r+ Rs)
The power liberated in the resistor R, can be cal-
culated from the formula
N wR,R, 12
Ra R2 L rR + Rs (Rs+ r) j R2
W 2 Rt
(rRI) 2 /R 2 d- 2rR 1 (r+ RD+ (r+ R 1 ) 2 112 •
The maximum power will correspond to the mini-
mum value of the denominator. Using the classical
inequality a 2 b 2 > tab, we find that for R, =
rRi /(r /1^1 ) the denominator of the fraction has
the minimum value, and the power liberated in
the resistor 112 attains the maximum value.
3.45. At the moment when the current through
the resistor attains the value / 0 , the charge on the
capacitor of capacitance C 1 is
C 1 / 0 R.
The energy stored in the capacitor by this moment is
W 1 — 2C1
After disconnecting the key, at the end of re-
charging, the total charge on the capacitors is q 1 ,
and the voltages across the plates of the two capac-
itors are equal. Let us write these conditions in
the form of the following two equations:
„.;
qi:F 4; - = qi, * 1 - = c v 2 ,
where and q, are the charges on the capacitors
after recharging. This gives
q qiCs
