= Maximum power transfer theorem
{wiki=Maximum_power_transfer_theorem}
The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem is an important principle in electrical engineering and circuit analysis. It states that in order to transfer the maximum amount of power from a source (such as a voltage or current source) to a load (such as a resistor), the load resistance must be equal to the output resistance of the source or circuit from which the power is being drawn, when looking back into the circuit.
