➢ The maximum amount of power will be dissipated by a load
resistance when that load resistance is equal to the
Thevenin/Norton resistance of the network supplying the power.
➢ If the load resistance is lower or higher than the
Thevenin/Norton resistance of the source network, its
dissipated power will be less than the maximum.

Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
Solution:
(a) Vth: Open circuit voltage
i1 =60/(10+20) =2A
va= 60- 2(10)=40
i2 =60/(25+5) =2A
vb= 60- 2(25)=10
