In electrical engineering, we need to study the load’s requirements to transfer maximum power from a source circuit. In such analysis, we end up
forming an equation relating the power to the load resistance, and then need to solve for the value of that load resistance to maximize the power delivered. This video tutorial revisits the differential calculus topic of finding the minima/maxima
of a given function.
