Maximum Power Transfer Theorem for AC Circuits Next
Next
The power delivered to the load is Phasor current and voltage are where Next

A little forethought saves us some work A little forethought saves us some work. (XTh + XL) absorbs no power; any nonzero value only reduces PL. Hence we can put XL = - XTh, so as to get Next
This expression, we have already maximized for purely resistive case, by selecting RL = RTh. Hence, we must have Next
Exercise Show that if the load is purely resistive in an ac circuit, the condition for maximum power transfer is Next
