  2. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    The red curve shows the power in the load, normalized relative to its maximum possible. The dark blue curve shows the efficiency η. The efficiency η is the ratio of the power dissipated by the load resistance R L to the total power dissipated by the circuit (which includes the voltage source's resistance of R S as well as R L):

  3. Output impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_impedance

    The output impedance is a measure of the source's propensity to drop in voltage when the load draws current, the source network being the portion of the network that transmits and the load network being the portion of the network that consumes. Because of this the output impedance is sometimes referred to as the source impedance or internal ...

  4. Linear regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_regulator

    When the supply voltage is less than about 2 V above the desired output voltage, as is the case in low-voltage microprocessor power supplies, so-called low dropout regulators (LDOs) must be used. When the output regulated voltage must be higher than the available input voltage, no linear regulator will work (not even a low dropout regulator).

  5. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    R 1 > R 2, however, either R 1 or R 2 may be the source and the other the load. One of X 1 or X 2 must be an inductor and the other must be a capacitor. L networks for narrowband matching a source or load impedance Z to a transmission line with characteristic impedance Z 0. X and B may each be either positive (inductor) or negative (capacitor).

  6. Mechanical efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_efficiency

    At any instant the power input to a machine is equal to the input force multiplied by the velocity of the input point, similarly the power output is equal to the force exerted on the load multiplied by the velocity of the load. The mechanical efficiency of a machine (often represented by the Greek letter eta η) is a dimensionless number ...

  7. Electrical efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_efficiency

    If energy output and input are expressed in the same units, efficiency is a dimensionless number. [1] Where it is not customary or convenient to represent input and output energy in the same units, efficiency-like quantities have units associated with them. For example, the heat rate of a fossil fuel power plant may be expressed in BTU per ...

  9. Impedance bridging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_bridging

    In audio engineering and sound recording, a high impedance bridging, voltage bridging, or simply bridging connection is one in which the load impedance is much larger than the source impedance. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The load measures the source's voltage while minimally drawing current or affecting it.
