Maximum Power Transfer Theorem

The maximum power transfer theorem states that the maximum power is delivered to a load when the load resistance is equal to the source resistance.

The maximum power across the load is given by:

 

Calculation

When maximum power flows from source to load, the voltage across the load is half of the Thevenin voltage.

Consider Thevenin voltage = Vth

The voltage across the load, 

The current drawn from the source is given by:
