I am trying to find out what should be the value of resistor connected across node 'ab' for maximum power transfer. So far I have tried working out by hand and I don't think I have got the right values. I have shorted out voltage source to find thevenin resistance and considered R1 parallel with (R2+R3) and (R4+R5). Can anyone please help me to find out equivalent thevenin circuit. |

I took your schematic and quickly did three things:
Click this one and run the DC Sweep simulation. Peak power happens at approximately: $$R_{\text{test}} \approx 4.7 \ \Omega$$ |
