Object
To prove Maximum Power Transfer theorem practically.
Theory
the process of finding the load that will receive maximum power from a
particular system is quite straightforward due to the maximum power transfer
theorem, which states the following:
A load will receive maximum power from a network when its
resistance is exactly equal to the Thévenin resistance of the network
applied to the load. That is
RL = Rth
In other words, for the Thévenin equivalent circuit in Fig. 1, when the load is set
equal to the Thévenin resistance, the load will receive maximum power from the
network. Using Fig. 1 with RL = RTh, the maximum power delivered to the load
can be determined by first finding the current
