Theory
Maximum power is developed in a load when the load resistance equals the Thevenin
resistance of the source to which it is connected
All linearly constructed sources can be reduced to their Thevenin equivalent. In DC circuits,
the load can be represented by a resistance RL. The source develops a voltage V L across the
load and enables current IL to flow into it. The power delivered to the load resistance (R L)
depends on the value of RL. Maximum current IL occurs when RL = 0 (shorted terminals).
The maximum voltage VL occurs when RL rcuited terminals). Yet load power PL
= 0 for both cases.
PL is maximum when RL equals the Thevenin equivalent resistance of the source, i.e. when
RL =
