Maximum Power Transfer Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Power = (Thevenin Voltage^2*Load Resistance)/(Load Resistance+Thevenin Resistance)^2
P_m = (V_th^2*R_L)/(R_L+R_th)^2
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Power - (Measured in Watt) - Maximum Power is defined as the maximum power that can be transferred from the input of the circuit to its output.
Thevenin Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Thevenin voltage defines the equivalent voltage using thenvenin's theorem.
Load Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Load Resistance is defined as the opposition provided to the electric current but the load connected to the circuit.
Thevenin Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Thevenin resistance is the resistance measured at terminals AB with all voltage sources replaced by short circuits and all current sources replaced by open circuits.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Thevenin Voltage: 27.6 Volt --> 27.6 Volt No Conversion Required
Load Resistance: 18 Ohm --> 18 Ohm No Conversion Required
Thevenin Resistance: 7.5 Ohm --> 7.5 Ohm No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_m = (V_th^2*R_L)/(R_L+R_th)^2 --> (27.6^2*18)/(18+7.5)^2

Evaluating ... ...

P_m = 21.0867820069204

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

21.0867820069204 Watt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

21.0867820069204 ≈ 21.08678 Watt <-- Maximum Power
