Electric circuits miscellaneous

  1. Value of the resistance R, connected across the terminals A and B, (see given figure), which will absorb maximum power, is __________ kΩ

    1. 4.00
    2. 8
    3. 64
    4. None of the above
Correct Option: A

The circuit is drawn below by shorting the voltage source.

Taking Thevenin's equivalent between points A, B, we have

RTh =
6 × 3
+
4 × 4
kΩ = 4 kΩ
6 + 34 + 4

For maximum power transfer, R = RTh = 4kΩ
