Exam-hall rules, one sealed module
This is the boss. No calculator — the readings are pinned so every line lands in your head. One sealed module, one long problem, and every answer feeds the next: the two meter readings give , the open-circuit reading is for free, those two give , and with gives the matched-load power. Write each line down as you go — one early slip rolls all the way to the last one.
Watch the two places this chapter takes its marks. The in the Thevenin relation, which separates the module's own resistance from the whole loop. And the 4 in the matched-load power, which is the difference between a resistor and a smell.
Note what the last line actually asks. It does not want another number; it wants a DECISION about a part on the bench, the way a real check does. The arithmetic is only there to earn you the right to make it.
Everything in the chapter rides in this one box. 5★ under par here is the chapter crown. Clock in.
