Biomedical Engineering EMT^1101 – ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS I Coursework Set 1 Instructions: a) Work in groups of 2–3 members. b) Each group must include members from different programmes (BELE, BCCE, BBI). c) Clearly list each member’s name, registration number, and programme on the cover page. d) Solutions may be handwritten or typed. e) Submission deadline: 30th October 2025 at 8:00 AM (strictly). 1. For power system engineers, it is essential to ensure maximum power transfer from the source to the load. Figure 1 shows a circuit in which a non-ideal voltage source is connected to a variable load resistor with resistance 𝑅𝐿. The source voltage is 𝑉 and its internal resistance is 𝑅𝑆. Calculate the value of 𝑅𝐿 which results in the maximum power being transferred from the voltage source to the load resistor. 6 Marks Figure 1 2.

Step 1
**Step 1:** To find the value of 1$ which results in the maximum power being transferred from the voltage source to the load resistor, we can use the formula for maximum power transfer:

R\_{L,max} = R\_S
where 1$ which results in the maximum power being transferred from the voltage source to the load resistor is: **

Final Answer

--- **Step 1:** To find the dimensions of the right-circular cylinder of largest volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius 1$ are: r = R h = 2R --- For the remaining parts of the problem, please provide the specific problem statement or question that you would like me to solve. This will help me provide a clear and accurate solution.
