Maximum Power-Theorems-Ac-Circuits

The document discusses the maximum power transfer theorem for AC circuits. It explains that maximum power is delivered to the load when the load resistance equals the internal resistance of the circuit. The condition for maximum power transfer in an AC circuit with a purely resistive load is when the load resistance equals the internal resistance.

A little forethought saves us some work. (XTh +

reduces PL. Hence we can put XL = - XTh, so as
