Answer: a
Explanation: Thevenin voltage is obtained by opening the specified terminals so it is open circuit voltage.
It is not the short circuit voltage because if specified terminals are shorted voltage is equal to zero.

to the source resistance. The maximum power transfer theorem can be applied to both dc and ac circuits.
Answer: b
Explanation: The maximum power transferred is equal to E 2/4*RL. So, we can say maximum power
depends on load resistance.
21. The maximum power is delivered to a circuit when source resistance is __________ load resistance.
a) Greater than
b) Equal to
c) Less than
d) Greater than or equal to
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The circuit can draw maximum power only when source resistance is equal to the load
resistance.
Answer: b
Explanation: Maximum power transfer does not imply maximum efficiency. If the load resistance is
smaller than source resistance, the power dissipated at the load is reduced while most of the power is
dissipated at the source then the efficiency becomes lower.
Answer: d
Explanation: Efficiency=(Power output/ Power input)*100.
Power Output=I2RL, Power Input=I2(RL+RS)
Under maximum power transfer conditions, RL=RS
Power Output=I2RL; Power Input=2*I2RL
Thus efficiency=50%.
24. Name some devices where maximum power has to be transferred to the load rather than maximum
efficiency.
a) Amplifiers
b) Communication circuits
c) Both amplifiers and communication circuits
d) Neither amplifiers nor communication circuits
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Maximum power transfer to the load is preferred over maximum efficiency in both
amplifiers and communication circuits since in both these cases the output voltage is more than the input.

Answer: a
Explanation: The circuit is said to be in resonance if the current is in phase with the applied voltage and
not if the current is out of phase with the applied voltage. The study of resonance is very useful

Answer: b
Explanation: Inductive reactance is nothing but the impedance. Impedance is the AC equivalent of
resistance, hence the unit for inductive reactance is ohm.
Answer: a
Explanation: Any circuit in which a change of current is accompanied by a change of flux, and therefore
by an induced emf, is said to be inductive.
Answer: c
Explanation: Both coils and capacitors offer an opposition to alternating current flow known as reactance,
which is expressed in ohms. Like resistance, reactance is an opposition that directly affects the amount of
current in a circuit.
Answer: b
Explanation: In addition to resistance of alternating current flow, a capacitor alters the phase difference
between the current and voltage. The capacitor lowers the phase of the voltage and hence the current leads
the voltage.
Answer: a
Explanation: In addition to a resistance of alternating current flow, an inductor/coil alters the phase
difference between the current and voltage. The inductor/coil lowers the phase of the current and hence
the voltage leads the current.
