Max power

n cells each of emf E and identical resistance r are grouped into sets of cells connected in series.The (n/K) are then connected in parallel to a load resisance R.Then find max. power delivered.

This will have k parallel circuits of cells...

The internal resistance will be K.r

and the EMF will be K.E

They will together have a resistance of R..

Is this hint sufficient?

You can do one thing eureka.. (try symmetry..)

equal current in each of the K wires.. and K.I in the main wire... (one with load R)

use Maximum power transfer theorem.

Max power is delivered when internal R = external R.

this should help I think.
