Power Transfer to a Load: A New Teaching Approach

This paper presents a different approach to teaching undergraduates about the power transfer to a load by a linear electric circuit. Its aim is to enable students to select the proper load that absorbs power within predetermined percentages of the maximum power transferred. The said approach can als...

Description
Summary:This paper presents a different approach to teaching undergraduates about the power transfer to a load by a linear electric circuit. Its aim is to enable students to select the proper load that absorbs power within predetermined percentages of the maximum power transferred. The said approach can also be used in practical situations.
