07-ELEC-A1 CIRCUITS Q.1 (20 %)

The impedance Z0 in the circuit of figure 1 is variable and represents the load. You are asked to do the following: (13%) i) Calculate the numerical value of Z0 the guarantees maximum power transfer from the circuit to the load. (2%) ii) When Z0 takes on its optimal value, what is the percentage of the power developed in the circuit that is transferred to the load? (3%) iii) Assuming that Z0 is replaced by a pure resistance R 0 , what will be its optimal value R 0 ? (2%) iv) For the value of R 0 calculated in iii), calculate the value of the ratio (Power delivered/power developed).
