Calculation:

The given circuit is

F1 Raviranjan 13-1-22 Savita D21

\(\rm P_{ZL}=I^2_{rms}.Z_L\)

\(\rm I_{rms}=\frac{I_m}{√2}\)

Zs = Rs + j ωLs =  10 + j 1000 × 10 × 10-3 = 10 + j 10 Ω 

\(\rm I_m=\frac{i(t)(10+j10)}{10+j10+Z_L}\)

As we know ZL = Zs* = 10 - j10 = RL + j XL

|ZL| = 10√2 Ω 

\(\rm I_m=\frac{10√2(10+j10)}{10+j10+10-j10}\)

\(|I_m|=\frac{10√2×10√2}{20}=10\ \rm Amp\)

\(\rm I_{rms}=\frac{I_m}{√2}=\frac{10}{√2}\)

\(\rm P_{Z_L}=I^2_{rms}.Z_L=\left(\frac{10}{√2}\right)^2×10\)

PZL = 500 W

Important Points Maximum power transfer theorem for AC circuits:

The maximum power transfer theorem states that the maximum power flow through an AC circuit will occur when the load impedance is equal to the complex conjugate of the source impedance.

ZL = ZS* 

|ZL| = |ZS|

ZL = Load impedance

ZS = Source impedance

Important points:

Load variable

The load impedance for maximum power transfer

RL and XL are variable

RL = RS

XL = -XS

ZL = ZS*

RL only varied and

XL = Constant

RL =√(RS2 + (XL + XS)2)

RL only varied and

XL = 0

RL =√(RS2 + XS2)
