Question
In the circuit shown in the figure, the maximum power (in watt) delivered to the resistor is ________.
📷 Figure: Circuit: 5 V source with 3 kOhm series and 2 kOhm shunt (voltage v0 across 2 kOhm); separate dependent voltage source 100 v0 with 10 kOhm series, 40 kOhm shunt, and load R in parallel
Correct answer
0.78 to 0.82
Solution
Left loop (controlling voltage). The 5 V source drives the 3 k and 2 k resistors in series, so by voltage divisionHence the dependent source is V. Since does not depend on , this source behaves as a fixed 200 V source.Thevenin equivalent seen by .Maximum power transfer occurs at k:Answer: W (accepted range to )
