An alternating current generator has an internal resistance R g and an internal reactance X g. It is used to supply power to a passive load consisting of a resistance R g and a reactance X L . For maximum power to be delivered from the generator to the load, the value of X L is equal to

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

For maximum power delivered, we must have only resistance no net reactance due to inductor and capacitor. So, to make the reactance zero, X_L must be equal to -X_g. Hence, correct option is (b).
