Maximum power transfer occurs when:

A R_load = 0
B R_load = R_source (load resistance equals source resistance)
C R_load = ∞
D R_load = 2R_source

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Maximum power is delivered to the load when R_L = R_S (for resistive circuits).

💡 Why is B) the correct answer?

The correct answer to the question "Maximum power transfer occurs when:" is Option B: R_load = R_source (load resistance equals source resistance).

The other options — A) R_load = 0, C) R_load = ∞, D) R_load = 2R_source — are incorrect for this FE Exam Prep question. As explained above: Maximum power is delivered to the load when R_L = R_S (for resistive circuits).
