Week 8: Circuit Theorems | Norton's Theorem and Maximum Power Transfer Theorem

To handle the complexity, engineers over the years have developed some theorems to simplify circuit analysis. Such theorems include Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems & these theorems are applicable to linear circuits only.

In many practical situations, a circuit is designed to provide power to a load. There are applications in areas such as communications where it is desirable to maximize the power delivered to a load. We now address the problem of delivering the maximum power to a load when given a system with known internal losses. It should be noted that this will result in significant internal losses greater than or equal to the power delivered to the load.
