i=12/90+20
=a(say)
p=a^2*20

A superconductor is a.

A. ) A material showing perfect conductivity and Meissner effect below a critical temperature.

B. ) A conductor having zero resistance.

C. ) A perfect conductor with highest di-magnetic susceptibility.

D. ) A perfect conductor which becomes resistance when the current density through it exceeds a critical value.

This is maximum power transfer theorem.

Rt=Rin+Rload

Rt=90+20=110ohm

It=Vs/Rt

It=12/110=0.109A

Pl=(It)^2*Rload

Pl=(0.109)^2*20

Pl=0.238W= 238mW

By voltage divider, VL = 12(20) over 20+90 = 2.18V.
P = V^2/R,
PL = (VL)(VL)/RL. *others might mistake using Rth, we are only getting PL not PT so use RL,
PL = (2.18)(2.18)/20 = 237.62 mW => 238 mW.
