Analysis
Power in this experiment was measured in different intervals of resistance using a watt meter and is computed using different power formulas. Here then maximum power is obtained which is obviously the value with the highest number. This can also be proven or obtained by making a graph of power vs. time. 43.09 mW is thus the maximum power. Noticed that it was calculated using a resistance of 470 ohms which is also the internal resistance of the circuit.
Conclusion
Measuring power in AC circuits was measured at different resistances. Power is checked to be correct using a variety of power formulas. Maximum power was measured at a given resistance and generally it is the internal resistance.
