Also give its applications. Ans: Maximum power transfer theorem deals with transfer of maximum power from the source to load. This theorem states the relationship between load resistance and internal resistance of the source for maximum power transfer from source to load. This condition is also referred to as impedance matching. Impedance matching is very important in electronic and communication circuits so as to obtain maximum power. Power transferred in an ac circuit is maximum when RL (load resistance) = Ri (internal resistance of the source). This theorem is useful in electronic circuits where maximum power transfer is usually desirable such as Public address System. Also this theorem is applicable in starting of car engines Q.19 State the following: (i) Thevenins Theorem. (ii) Nortons Theorem. Ans: (i)Thevenins Theorem states that the current flowing through a load resistance RLconnected across any two terminals A and B of a linear, active bilateral network is given by Voc / (Ri + RL) where Voc is the open circuit voltage (ie. the voltage across the two terminals when RL is removed) and Ri is the internal resistance of the network as viewed back into theopen circuited network from terminals A and B with all voltage sources replaced by their internal resistance (if any) and current sources by infinite resistance. (ii)Nortons Theorem states that any two terminal active network containing voltage sources and resistances when viewed from its output terminals, is equivalent to a constant current source and parallel resistance. The constant current is equal to the current whichwould flow in a short circuit placed across the terminals and parallel resistance is the resistance of the network when viewed from these open circuited terminals after all voltageand current sources have been removed and replaced by their internal resistances

Superposition theorem
In any linear bilateral network containing two or more independent sources (voltage or current sources or combination of voltage and current sources ), the resultant current / voltage in any branch is the algebraic sum of currents / voltages caused by each independent sources acting along, with all other independent sources being replaced meanwhile by their respective internal resistances. Superposition theorem can be explained through a simple resistive network as shown in fig.7.1 and it has two independent practical voltage sources and one practical current source.
