In an electric circuit with a battery of EMF E and internal resistance r, the power consumed by an external resistor R is maximum when R equals r. This is derived from the power formula P = I²R, where I = E/(R + r), and by differentiating P with respect to R and setting it to zero. The maximum power occurs when the external resistance matches the internal resistance of the source.
