    Maximum power transfer vs Max power efficiency

    Hello forum, what is the main difference between max power transfer and max power efficiency? In the case of max power transfer, the goal is to transfer the most energy to the load per unit time (impedance matching). Power is I*V and is about delivering energy very fast... High power...

    Maximum Power transfer theorem ( Power dissipation in resistors in circuits)

    the equation P = (E2R) / [(R-r)2 + 4Rr] We say that when R=r , P = E2/4R which is said to be maximum.. But if I say R→∞ , then r→0 and then P = E2/R which is greater.. So, shouldn't power be maximum for max R ?

    Understanding maximum power transfer theorem

    Hi :) I'm trying to understand 'background' working of the maximum power transfer which says that power transfer takes place across R_L when it is equal to R_th (R_L is load resistance and R_th is Thevenin resistance). It is easily proved by doing some math. P=VI, P=I^2.R, P=V^2/R...

    Impedance matching vs max power transfer criterion

    Hello, I wonder if there's any difference between the "impedance matching" and "maximum power transfer" criterion? I assume in both cases, one impedance should be designed to be the complex conjugate of the other. Thanks.

    Impendance matching and power transfer

    What is the physical explanation for the power transfer in a circuit being maximum when the resistance of the system is equal to the internal resistance? maybe heat loss? any help would be appreciated as i understand the mathematical proof but do not know much about the physical causes.
