The Derivation Of Maximum Power Transfer Theorem For Purely Resistive DC Circuits

Improved Essays
The derivation of maximum power transfer theorem for purely resistive DC circuits.

V_L= E x R_L/(R_L+r)
P_L= 〖V_L〗^2/R_L = (E^2 〖R_L〗^2/〖(R_L+r)〗^2 )/R_L = (E^2 R_L)/〖(R_L+r)〗^2 Calculating the most favourable value of the load resistor for maximum power transfer from a DC source with a internal resistance.

When any arbitrary load resistance may be selected.
Let R_L= kr ( k is a positive number)
P_L= kr/〖(kr+r)〗^2 E^2= k/〖(k+1)〗^2 E^2/r f = k/〖(k+1)〗^2 = 1/(k+2+k^(-1) ) k+k^(-1) ≥ 2 to find the least possible value of k+k^(-1)
To prove above: 〖(k-1)〗^2 ≥ 0 k^2-2k+1 ≥ 0 〖k+k〗^(-1) ≥ 2
Therefore k = 1 to minimize 〖k+k〗^(-1) which then maximizes P_L=

Which is reached by making r = 0.
Therefore P_(L_MAX )= E^2/R_L with an ideal source.
Thus for a completely resistive circuit the internal resistance of a DC source should be equal to zero for maximum power transfer to the load resistance.

The derivation of the maximum power transfer theorem for resistive and non-linear impedance AC circuits.

I – Phasor current

(ωL or-1/ωC)_L and (ωL or-1/ωC)_r= X_L and X_r respectively
I = (E_rms∠0°)/(Z+Z_r ) = (E_rms∠0°)/(r+R_L+j(X_r+X_L))

P_L= |I|^2 R_L

=R_L/(〖(r+R_L)〗^2+〖(X+X_L)〗^2 ) 〖E_rms〗^2
2.1) The maximum power transfer when we have the choice to decide both the load resistance and reactance.

To maximize P_L= R_L/(〖(r+R_L)〗^2+〖(X+X_L)〗^2 ) 〖E_rms〗^2, 〖(X+X_L)〗^2 must be minimized. This is carried out by selecting the load reactance to be the contrary of the AC source’s internal reactance i.e. X_L=X
Therefore load impedance should be the conjugate of the Thevenin impedance/ internal impedance of AC source for maximum power transfer to the load.

2.2) The maximum power formula when load reactance can’t be altered, but the load resistance can be

    Baseball is a game of speed, despite not having a game clock, play clock, or any other sort of time constraints. The difference between being called out and safe can be determined by a fraction of a second. That call could be the difference between winning and losing a game. If you spend twenty minutes at any high school, collegiate, semi-pro, or professional baseball team’s facility, you will see coaches with stop watches timing players running, throwing, and transferring the ball. Coaches and players are constantly working on improving their times in order to execute defensive plays more efficiently, which will result in more put outs.…

    The distinction between the two argument types is important since each serve a different purpose. The goal of a "power with" argument is for you and others to share opinions and to reach an understanding on the issue. The purpose of a "power over" argument is to persuade your audience to believe your opinions. An example of when a "power with" argument would be more effective is if I were a sports agent representing a free agent player.
