  2. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    It is a common misconception to apply the theorem in the opposite scenario. It does not say how to choose the source resistance for a given load resistance. In fact, the source resistance that maximizes power transfer from a voltage source is always zero (the hypothetical ideal voltage source), regardless of the value of the load resistance.

  3. Load line (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_line_(electronics)

    Once a DC operating point is defined by the DC load line, an AC load line can be drawn through the Q point. The AC load line is a straight line with a slope equal to the AC impedance facing the nonlinear device, which is in general different from the DC resistance. The ratio of AC voltage to current in the device is defined by this line.

  4. Current source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_source

    Nonetheless, it is often the case that such a circuit will provide adequate performance when the specified current and load resistance are small. For example, a 5 V voltage source in series with a 4.7 kΩ resistor will provide an approximately constant current of 1 mA ± 5% to a load resistance in the range of 50 to 450 Ω.

  5. Negative resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_resistance

    Negative resistance (voltage controlled) oscillator: Since VCNR ("N" type) devices require a low impedance bias and are stable for load impedances less than r, [103] the ideal oscillator circuit for this device has the form shown at top right, with a voltage source V bias to bias the device into its negative resistance region, and parallel ...

  6. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    For example, in order to match an inductive load into a real impedance, a capacitor needs to be used. If the load impedance becomes capacitive, the matching element must be replaced by an inductor. In many cases, there is a need to use the same circuit to match a broad range of load impedance and thus simplify the circuit design.

  7. Load regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_regulation

    is the voltage at maximum load. The maximum load is the one that draws the greatest current, i.e. the lowest specified load resistance (never short circuit); is the voltage at minimum load. The minimum load is the one that draws the least current, i.e. the highest specified load resistance (possibly open circuit for some types of linear ...

  8. Electrical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

    For example, if we use an input resistance to represent the load, the complete circuit looks like this: The input resistance of the load stands in series with Rs. Whereas the voltage source by itself was an open circuit, adding the load makes a closed circuit and allows charge to flow.

  9. Lumped-element model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumped-element_model

    Representation of a lumped model consisting of a voltage source and a resistor. The lumped-element model (also called lumped-parameter model, or lumped-component model) is a simplified representation of a physical system or circuit that assumes all components are concentrated at a single point and their behavior can be described by idealized mathematical models.
