Concept

The maximum power transfer theorem states that the maximum power is delivered to a load when the load resistance is equal to the source resistance.

The maximum power across the load is given by:

  at condition 

Now, the power transferred to the load at other loading condition is given by:

Calculation

Given, Pmax = 50 W at RL = Rth =  2Ω 

Vth = 20V

P = 32 W
