DC Circuits: Electric Power PHY 114 Lab Report 10/09/2013 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to look at electric power dissipated in a load resistor in a circuit with a real power source‚ which has a finite internal resistance. We discover a surprising result about how to deliver the most power to a device from a source. Consider a simple circuit in which a battery of voltage drives a current through a resistor of resistance. As we have seen‚ the battery is continuously doing
