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 equal the resistance of the source as viewed from its output terminals. Moritz von Jacobi published the maximum power (transfer) theorem around 1840; it is also referred to as "Jacobi's law".
maximum power transfer theorem meaning:[Electronics] Maximum power is transferred from a generator to a load when the impedance of the load equals the internal impedance of the generator. Compare COMPENSATION THEOREM, NORTON’S THEOREM, REC...
