 In the given circuit, the value of load resistance for which the power delivered is maximum is

Right Answer is:

4.5 Ω

SOLUTION

For Maximum Power to be transferred the Load Resistance RL and the internal Resistance Rth should be Equal.

Rth = RL

 

Thevenin’s resistance can be found by replacing the 20 V source with a short-circuit.

As seen from Fig. , Rth = 1 + 2 + (3 || 3)  = 4.5Ω.

Hence the value of load resistance for which the power delivered is maximum is 4.5Ω
