Day 9

The day is long and the night is cool. Crickets chirruping here and there now. You can't imagine how annoying some bugs can be so crickets aren't all that bad. Still hearing a frog's croaking might be more interesting. Ever hear a chorus of frogs in the night, it's rather relaxing. Though I suppose after a time even that would become an annoyance. Curious how that what we are not used to seems so much easier to deal with that the familiar. I attribute that to people as well, supposing that as you spend more time with a person their personality becomes more abrasive. 

Here we have the almighty max power equation. It does require the prior knowledge of thevenin equivalence but thankfully we covered that last post. but this is the main equation, there is another if the equivalent resistance is equal to the R_L but should it not this is the only relevant equation to use.

ANd here is the derivation to the simpler equation.

here we have an example of finding max power, we can see the thevenin circuit in the lower left corner and then the power equation put into use.

Just another example and we add the energy component.

Not sure what this is but I'm leaving it.

well I'm guessing its the elongated form of this circuit.

Oh here's the power measured with respect to the equation that would result in similar values.

The table we used for that lab, prety good stuff right there.

The recorded values as they were being taken which were then put into excel to create...

This graph and data that corresponds with predicted equation fits, and predicted values, as one can see the actual and predicted data overlap so pretty good stuff.
