Question

Calculate the maximum power delivered to load in the network given.

(a) 1.56W

(b) 1.66W

(c) 2.33W

(d) 2.79W

The question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.

The query is from Maximum Power Transfer and Superposition topic in section Techniques of Circuit Analysis of Electric Circuits

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) 1.56W

To explain I would say: 1.Calculation of VTh. (by using mesh analysis)

           2. Calculation of Norton’s current.

                       3. Calculation of RTh. (RTh=VTh/IN)

                       4. RTh=RL and PMax= VTh/4RL.
