The Attempt at a Solution
Power dissipated in the 2 Ohms resistor will be maximum when current is maximum .This will occur when total resistance is minimum .
If I think logically then I do get the right answer . But on trying to arrive at the result mathematically I think I am making some silly mistake .
Total resistance is Z = (10R+16)/(8+R)
For Z to be minimum , dz/dR = 0
Calculations give me a weird result 64 = 0
What is my mistake ?
