Maximum Power Transfer

Theorem - Network Theory
Questions and Answers
by Manish
4-5 minutes

Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Maximum Power Transfer
Theorem”.
1. The maximum power is delivered from a source to its

load when the load resistance is ______ the source
resistance.
a) greater than
b) less than
c) equal to
d) less than or equal to
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The maximum power is delivered from a
source to its load when the load resistance is equal to the
source resistance. The maximum power transfer theorem
can be applied to both dc and ac circuits.
2. If source impedance is complex, then maximum power
1 of 6 3/16/18, 4:46 PM
transfer occurs when the load impedance is _______ the

source impedance.
a) equal to
b) negative of
c) complex conjugate of
d) negative of complex conjugate of
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The maximum power transfer theorem can be
applied to complex impedance circuits. If source impedance
is complex, the maximum power transfer occurs when the
load impedance is complex conjugate of the source
impedance.
3. If the source impedance is complex, then the condition

for maximum power transfer is?
a) ZL = ZS
b) ZL = ZS*
c) ZL = -ZS
d) ZL = -ZS*
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The maximum power is transferred when the
load resistance is equal to the source resistance. The
condition for maximum power transfer is ZL = ZS*.
4. If ZL = ZS*, then?
a) RL = 1
b) RL = 0
c) RL = -RS
2 of 6 3/16/18, 4:46 PM
d) RL = RS
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: If ZL = ZS*, then RL = RS. This means that the
maximum power transfer occurs when the load impedance
is equal to the complex conjugate of source impedance ZS.
5. For ZL = ZS*, the relation between XL and XS is?

a) XL = XS
b) XL = 0
c) XL = 1
d) XL = -XS
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: For ZL = ZS*, the relation between XL and XS
is XL = -XS. Maximum power transfer is not always
desirable since the transfer occurs at a 50 percent
efficiency.
6. In the circuit shown below, find the value of load

impedance for which source delivers maximum power.
a) 15-j20
b) 15+j20
c) 20-j15
3 of 6 3/16/18, 4:46 PM
d) 20+j15
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The maximum power transfer occurs when the
load impedance is equal to the complex conjugate of
source impedance ZS. ZL = ZS* = (15-j20) Ω.
7. The load current in the circuit shown in the question 6 is?

a) 1.66∠90⁰
b) 1.66∠0⁰
c) 2.66∠0⁰
d) 2.66∠90⁰
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The load current is the ratio of voltage to the
impedance. So the load current is I=(50∠0o)/(15+j20+15-
j20) =1.66∠0o A.
8. The maximum power delivered by the source in the

circuit shown in the question 6 is?
a) 39.33
b) 40.33
c) 41.33
d) 42.33
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The term power is defined as the product of
the square of current and the impedance. So the maximum
power delivered by the source in the circuit is P = I2RxZ =
1.662×15 = 41.33W.
4 of 6 3/16/18, 4:46 PM
9. For the circuit shown, the resistance R is variable from

2Ω to 50Ω. What value of RS results in maximum power
transfer across terminals ‘ab’.
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: As RL is fixed, the maximum power transfer
theorem does not apply. Maximum current flows in the
circuit when RS is minimum. So RS = 2Ω.
10. Find the maximum power delivered by the source in the

circuit shown in the question 9.
a) 96.6
b) 97.6
c) 98.6
d) 99.6
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: ZT = RS – j5+ RL = 2-j5+20 = 22.56∠-12.8⁰Ω.
I=VS/ZT = -50∠0⁰/22.56∠-12.8⁰ = 2.22∠-12.8⁰A. P = I2R=
