MCQ
An alternating current generator has an internal resistance Rg and an internal reactance Xg. It is used to supply power to a passive load consisting of a resistance Rg and a reactance XL. For maximum power to be delivered from the generator to the load, the value of XL is equal to:
  • A
    Zero.
  • B
    Xg.
  • C
    -Xg.
  • D
    Rg.

Answer

  1. -Xg.

Solution:

For maximum power to be delivered from the generator (or internal reactance Xg) to the load (of reactance, XL),

⇒ XL + Xg = 0 (the total reactance must vanish)

⇒ XL= -Xg.
