DC Load Power Computation

Given the Thevenin Voltage, Thevenin Resistance, and Load Resistance, this script will calculate the power dissipated by the load resistance connected to a Thevenin equivalent circuit. It will also compute for the power transfer efficiency.
Enter the Thevenin Voltage (Vth) = volts
Enter the Thevenin Resistance (Rth) = ohms
Enter the Load Resistance (Rload) = ohms

The current is = amperes
The power dissipated at the load (Pload) is = watts
The power transfer efficiency is = %

Question: How is maximum power transfer attained in AC circuits?


Answer:

Maximum power transfer occurs when the impedance Z is purely resistive. This is achieved by utilizing capacitors for power factor correction.

Question: What are the powers normally associated with AC circuits?


Answer:

The types of powers normally associated with AC circuits are real power and reactive power.
