Write a function named r-series-max-power which computes the equivalent resistan

Question

Write a function named r-series-max-power which computes the equivalent resistance and maximum power rating of a network of resistors in series. The function arguments are two row vectors (of equal length, lengthz1), the first containing resistance values and the second containing the corresponding power ratings. The function returns two values, equivalent resistance and maximum power rating. Note that the maximum power rating of the network occurs when at least one resistor is operating at its maximum power rating and no resistors are operating above their maximum power rating. Test the function on the following two examples and show the results (your output format may be slightly different than shown in the example) · 10 10], [5 5 5]) > r-eq-1 , max-power-1] req i-30.0 max_power_1 -15.000 > r_cq2 , max-power-2] e250 max_power 2- _ r-series max power ([ 10 -r-series max power ([10 20 201, [ 5 4 3j)

Explanation / Answer

Matlab Script:

function [r_eq,max_power]=r_series_max_power(R,P)
r_eq = sum(R);
Imax = max(sqrt(P./R));
max_power = (Imax^2)*r_eq;
end

command window output:

>> [r_eq_1,max_power_1] = r_series_max_power([10 10 10],[5 5 5])

r_eq_1 =

30

max_power_1 =

15.0000

>> [r_eq_2,max_power_2] = r_series_max_power([10 20 20],[5 4 3])

r_eq_2 =

50

max_power_2 =

25.0000
