Maximum Power Transfer and Non-Ideal Power Sources
We get a transfer of maximum power when the resistances inside the voltage source is ideal (a resistance of zero). This is what we call an ideal power source, but in reality all voltage sources will have internal resistances.
Here we are trying to maximize the power delivered to our load resistor.
Here we have our measured values for the power delivered.
Comparing our theoretical and experimental values we yield very little error.
To conclude our experiment, voltage sources will have internal resistances and we need to use these real world conditions when constructing our circuits. Now we have a better understanding of non-ideal power sources.
