1) The document discusses Thevenin's theorem, which states that any linear circuit can be reduced to an equivalent circuit with one voltage source and one resistor. 2) To find the Thevenin equivalent circuit, the open circuit voltage is measured and the total resistance is found by setting all independent sources to zero. 3) The maximum power transfer theorem states that maximum power will be delivered to a load when its resistance equals the Thevenin/Norton resistance of the driving circuit.
