An engineer is trying to model a Li battery with a Thevenin equivalent circuit.
She first connects a voltmeter across the battery and gets a reading of 3.7 V .
She then connects a 0.5 resistor across the battery terminals. The reading
now drops to 3.2 V . Draw the equivalent circuit for the battery, and work out
all the circuit parameters .

What is the maximum power that can be obtained from the Li battery in (a)?
To increase the maximum power that can be obtained, the engineer is thinking
of using two such batteries. Work out the Thevenin equivalent circuit and the
maximum obtainable power if the two batteries are connected in series. Repeat
for the situation when the two batteries are connected in parallel. Explain
why getting maximum power from the battery may not be advisable.
