Hello everyone,
I just studies the maximum power transfer theorem which states that the max power that can be transferred from a source to a load is 50% of the total power generated by the source. This max transfer only occurs in the case of of conjugate impedance matching between the source and the load.
That said, an ideal transformer is a device that changes (increases or decreases) voltage with a consequential change in the current while the input power remains equal to the output power. How is that possible, in light of the max power transf. theorem, to transfer power in its totality and not only 50% of it?
What am I missing?
thanks.
