A battery has an open circuit potential difference of 6 V between its terminals. When a load resistance of 60 Ω is connected across the battery, the total power dissipated by the load resistance is 0.4 W. When a load resistance (R) is connected with such a battery the power dissipated in the circuit is maximum. Calculate the power dissipated in R in Watt W.
