Engineering Homework: Rx=? to get maximum power transfer at point M

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the value of Rx for maximum power transfer at point M using Thevenin's theorem. Participants confirm that setting Rth equal to the load resistance (RL) is essential for solving the problem. The circuit involves two resistors in parallel, which is a critical aspect of the calculations. The consensus is that the outlined approach is correct, affirming the method for finding Rx.

Hi,

after calculations I end up in the circuit below¨ (Thevenin equivalent)

So now I have to say Rth=RL and I will find Rx ?The initial circuit is this:

If your working is correct, that's how you solve it, yes. I haven't checked your working.

By the way I think this is the way to solve, because we have 2 resistors in parallel:
