To Maximize Power Transfer

Source Resistance Fixed?
 Set

Load Resistance = Source Resistance
Source Resistance Adjustable?
 Want
Source Resistance as small as possible
Active Vs Passive Device



Passive Device (Resistor)
 Cannot Generate Power
Active Device (Voltage or Current Source)
 Can generate power
 Requires some sort physical or chemical activity
 Converts this to Electrical Power
 Efficiency < 100%
OpAmp (Active Device)
 Absorbs power from a power supply
 Converts this power to another form
 Amplify a weak signal
 Act as "On – Off" electrical switch
