Note that this is about maximum power transfer, NOT about maximum efficiency.The source resistance is assumed to be constant; the load resistant variable.
If you know about calculus, you can derive the maximum power transferred by writing an expression for the power as a function of the variable load. You need no advanced calculus for this - just derivatives, which are used to get the maximum or minimum of a function (as well as high school algebra, of course). You can find the derivation (for the simplified case of a purely resistive circuit) in the Wikipedia article on "Maximum power transfer theorem", as well as a link to the more general case.
For maximum power transfer, source resistance should match load resistance and source reactance should match load reactance with the opposite sign (so if the load is capacitive, the source should be inductive).
Answer Pmax=E^2/(4xRs) The maximum power is transferred when the load impedance is the complex conjugate of the source impedance. For a dc circuit or a purely resistive circuit, the load resistance equals the source resistance.
Two reasons. 1...When impedance of source and destination match, power transfer is maximum. 2...If a long transmission line is involved, the characteristic impedance of the line must match the destination impedance, or reflections will occur on the line.
The voltage gain and power gain are equal when the load impedance matches the source impedance, and the voltage gain is equal to one (0 dB). This typically occurs in applications where both the input and output circuits have the same resistive load, allowing for maximum power transfer according to the maximum power transfer theorem. In this scenario, any increase in voltage gain directly translates to an equivalent increase in power gain, leading to equality between the two.
The power transfer equation is this:P = V1*V2*sin(phi)/Xt,V1 = source 1 voltageV2 = source 2 voltagephi = angle between the two sourcesXt = transfer impedance, the impedance of the line + both source impedancesFrom this you can see that if the angle between the two sources is 0, then the power transferred would be zero as well.Reactive power flow *should* be zero if perfectly matched as well, although there will be a small amount of reactive power usage due to line charging (charging current).
According to maximum power transfer theorem for ac circuits maximum power is transferred from source to load when the load resistance is equal to the magnitude of source impedance. The source imoedance is the thevenin equivalent impedance across the load

A:is equal to the source
For maximum power transfer the load resistance should be equal to the source resistance.An often misunderstood theorem. It applies strictly where one wishes maximum power transfer.It was misused for example in early power systems by trying to match the generator resistance to the load resistance.And it has little application in audio systems, where Power is much less important than Distortion. [for least distortion, the output impedance of the amplifier should be less than 10% of the impedance of the load.]
Two reasons. 1...When impedance of source and destination match, power transfer is maximum. 2...If a long transmission line is involved, the characteristic impedance of the line must match the destination impedance, or reflections will occur on the line.
the impedence should be complex conjugate of an equivalent impedence of the network when viewed from the terminals of the load. i.e; Z=R-jx
The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem is not so much a means of analysis as it is an aid to system design. The maximum amount of power will be dissipated by a load resistance when that load resistance is equal to the Thevenin/Norton resistance of the network supplying the power.
transformer coupling ensures maximum power transfer is obtained even if the output impedance is not equal to the load impedance
Max power transfer takes place when the total load impedance is equal to the source (power supply) internal impedance.
Maximum power transfer happens in a circuit when the resistance of the circuit equals the reactance. Impedance Z = R + jX. At R=X, maximum power transfer happens.
In electrical engineering, the maximum power (transfer) theorem states that, to obtain maximum external power from a source with a finite internal resistance, the resistance of the load must be made the same as that of the source. It is claimed that Moritz von Jacobi was first to discover the maximum power (transfer) theorem which is referred to as "Jacobi's law". The theorem applies to maximum power, and not maximum efficiency. If the resistance of the load is made larger than the resistance of the source, then efficiency is higher, since most of the power is generated in the load, but the overall power is lower since the total circuit resistance goes up. If the internal impedance is made larger than the load then most of the power ends up being dissipated in the source, and although the total power dissipated is higher, due to a lower circuit resistance, it turns out that the amount dissipated in the load is reduced.
