Maximum Power Transfer:

For any power source, the maximum power transferred from the power source to the load is when the resistance of the load image is equal to the equivalent or input resistance of the power source image.

Apply Thevinin's theorem:

Find Thevinin's equivalent impedance.

1.Open the load resistor.

2.Open Current Sources and Short Voltage Sources.

3.Calculate the Open Circuit Impedance. This is the Thevenin Impedance (image).

Redraw the circuit:

Step 1:

Find Thevenin's voltage.

Use Superposition principle to calculate volatge across A and B.

Super Position Theorem :

Take one current source at a time and replace all other with short or internal resistance.

Current divider rule:

Find the voltage drop across the impedance Z.

 V.

Step 2:

Take another voltage source at a time and replace all other with open or internal resistance.
