MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER THEOREM


This theorem explains the condition for the maximum power transfer
to load under various circuit conditions.
The theorem states that the power transfer by a source to a load is
maximum in a network when the load resistance is equal to the
internal resistance of the source. For AC circuits, load impedance
should match with the source impedance for maximum power transfer
even if the load is operating at different power factors.
The practical application of this theorem includes an audio system
wherein the resistance of the speaker must be matched to the audio
power amplifier to obtain maximum output.
