Figure 9.3
Power delivered to the 6Ω resistor using the total current of 8 A is not equal to the
sum of the power levels due to each source independently

PL versus RL for figure 9.79
If the load applied is less than the Thevenin resistance, the power to
the load will drop off rapidly as it gets smaller
If the applied load is greater than the Thevenin resistance, the power
to the load will not as rapidly as it increases
PL versus RL for figure 9.79
Any power delivered by the source does not get to the load is lost to
the Thevenin resistance
Efficiency of operation vs. increasing

Examining a circuit with high efficiency
Compare your answer to the level of pat (b) what is the level
of efficiency The power level is significantly less than
the 20W achieved in part (b)
The efficiency is
