5.8 MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER THEOREM

All electrical and electronic circuits fall under one of the three broad categories – power generation and delivery circuits, power conditioning circuits and signal generation and conditioning circuits.

In a power delivery context, one part of the circuit acts as a power source and delivers power to the other part of the circuit. In the process of delivering power to load part of the circuit, the source part of the circuit ends up dissipating some of the power within itself. This compromises the efficiency of power delivery as well as the power availability to the load at the same time. Hence, the power delivery capability of source part of the circuit for a given load circuit is of crucial practical significance ...
