Question
In the given circuit, the maximum power (in Watts) that can be transferred to the load is ________.
Correct answer
1.6 to 1.7
Solution
1.Find the Thevenin equivalent seen by the load :
- Thevenin Impedance (): The resistor and inductor are in parallel when looking from the load terminals.
- Thevenin Voltage ():
2.Maximum Power Transfer to a Resistive Load:
For a purely resistive load , maximum power is transferred when .3.Calculate Maximum Power ():
