Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
To test the maximum transfer theorem we built a circuit with the source resistor equal to 470 Ohms and to used: 680 Ohms, 650 Ohms, 470 Ohms, 120 Ohms, and 39 Ohms as load resistors.

For the 5 load resistors, we measured the load voltage then used the Maximum Power Interface to calculate the load current and load power. The data was used to make the following graph in excel
For the 5 load resistors, we measured the load voltage then used the Maximum Power Interface to calculate the load current and load power. The data was used to make the following graph in excel of load power as a function of load resistance
The graph shows that the maximum power absorbed by the load resistor is 470 Ohms
Constant Current Source
The goal was to build a circuit with the source resistor equal to 10k and to use: 680 Ohms, 650 Ohms, 470 Ohms, 120 Ohms, and 39 Ohms as load resistors.
