In a DC circuit consisting of two resistors in series, the power P delivered to resistor R2 is \( \frac{V^{2} R_{2}}{\left ( R_{1} + R_{2} \right )^{2}} . \) If V and R1 are constants, what is the value of R2 that priduces a maximum power in this resistor ?
A R2 = R1
B R2 = - R1
C R2 = 2R1
D R2 = 2R1
Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
