Advantage of Thevenin's Theorem
Thevenin’s Theorem has some advantages as follows
Thevenin's theorem is particularly helpful for circuit analysis since it makes the original
circuit simpler by reducing the load resistance.
Any subsequent computations can be made as if the entire network were the simpler
circuit after reconnecting the load resistance.

Maximum power transfer theorem states that the DC voltage source will deliver
maximum power to the variable load resistor only when the load resistance is equal to
the source resistance.
