PART- A
State Kirchhoff’s Laws.
Answer
Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) states that the algebraic sum of currents meeting at any junction in an electrical circuit is zero. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the algebraic sum of products of current and resistance and the electromotive forces in any closed loop of a network is zero.
State Maximum Power Transfer theorem.
Answer
The Maximum Power Transfer theorem states that the maximum power is transferred from a source to a load when the load resistance is equal to the source resistance (for DC) or when the load impedance is the complex conjugate of the source impedance (for AC).
