Given:
The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by
To find:
The current which will produce the maximum power.
Solution:
We have,
Differentiate with respect to x.
...(i)
To find the extreme point equate P'(x)=0.
Divide both sides by -30.
Differentiate (i) with respect to x.
(Maximum)
It means, the given function is maximum at x=4.
Therefore, the current of 4 amperes will produce the maximum power.
