Problem #1
Three different terminal pairs are attached to an original circuit. Which terminal pair arrangement will extract the most power from the original circuit?
Need a hint?
Remember that power is only available to the terminals if they are in a circuit with a source. Try to find the Norton Equivalent of these circuits and find the power using the Norton power formula.
