Homework Statement
An alternating current electrical generator has a fixed internal impedance [tex]R_{g}+iX_{g}[/tex] and is used to supply power to a passive load that has an impedance [tex]R_{g} +iX_{l}[/tex], where [tex]i = \sqrt{-1}[/tex], [tex]R_{g}\neq 0[/tex], and [tex]X_{g} \neq 0 [/tex]. For maximum power transfer between the generator and the load, [tex]X_{l}[/tex] should be equal to...
The answer is [tex]X_{l}=X_{g}[/tex].
However, I don't know how come up with this answer. It seems that the maximum power transmission occur with the imaginary part of the total impedance of the system vanishes. But Why??
Thanks a lot=)
