    Maximum Power Transfer Theorem

    Uploaded by

    The document describes an experiment to prove the maximum power transfer theorem. The theorem states that the power transferred from a power source to a load is maximized when the resistance of the load equals the internal resistance of the source. The experiment uses a DC circuit training system with a power supply and variable load resistor. Students measure the voltage and current across loads of varying resistance and calculate power. They plot a graph of power versus load resistance and determine the load resistance that achieves maximum power transfer.

    Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
    Aim of experiment: To prove Maximum Power Transfer theorem practically.
    Apparatus
    1. DC circuit training system
    2. Set of wires.
    3. DC Power supply
    4. Digital A.V.O. meter

    Theory
    The power transferred from a supply source to a load is at its maximum when
    the resistance of the load is equal to the internal resistance of the source. On the
    other words" A resistive load will be consumptive maximum power from the
    supply when the load resister is equal to the equivalent (Thevenin) network
    resister"
    RL = Rth . For maximum power transfer.
    IL = Vth / (Rth + RL)
    = Vth / (Rth + Rth)
    = Vth / 2 Rth
    Where,

    Pmax = IL2 RL
    = Vth2 / 4Rth

    A graph of RL against P is shown in Fig.(1), the maximum value of power which


    occurs when RL = Rth.
