Solution Summary
In this solution we calculate the maximum power and efficiency of an electric generator with current given as a function of the voltage.
Solution Preview
The relationship P = I V always holds, whether or not Ohm's law does. We may use the derived linear relationship between V and I to maximize P(I). We have:
V(I) = -1.883 I + ...
