The power delivered to the load is
Phasor current and voltage are
where

A little forethought saves us some work. (XTh +
XL) absorbs no power; any nonzero value only
reduces PL. Hence we can put XL = - XTh, so as
to get
Next
This expression, we have already maximized for
purely resistive case, by selecting RL = RTh.
Hence, we must have
Next
Exercise
Show that if the load is purely resistive in an
ac circuit, the condition for maximum power
transfer is
