assuming all resistances are 1 .
A. 6
B. 3.6
C. 2.4
D. 1.2
E. 4.8
Solution: Two R’s are in parallel and the combination in series with R is 3R/2. In parallel
with R, this gives 3R/5. Hence, Req = 6R/5.

A.
A. 4 s
B. 3.75 s
C. 4.25 s
D. 3.5 s
E. 3.25 s
Solution: iL = -K A when the flux linkage in the inductor reverses and is -K1 = -K Vs. At t
= 3 s, the net positive area under the curve is: (1/2)22 – (1/2) 21 = 1 Vs. The time beyond
3 s at which the area becomes -K Vs is (K + 1). This occurs at t = 3 + (K + 1)/2 = 3.5 + K/2 s.
Version 1: i = -0.5 A, t = 3.5 + 0.5/2 = 3.75 s
Version 2: i = -1 A, t = 3.5 + 1/2 = 4 s
Version 3: i = -1.5 A, t = 3.5 + 1.5/2 = 4.25 s
Version 4: i = -2 A, t = 3.5 + 2/2 = 4.5 s
Version 5: i = -2.5 A, t = 3.5 + 2.5/2 = 4.75 s.

D. -j2.75
E. -j4.89
Solution: Leq = 1 + 1/2 +1/3 = 11/6 H; Ceq is 1 F in series with 2 F, in series with 3F. The last
two are 6/5 F, and Ceq = 6/11 F. Zeq = j(11/6 – 11/6).
Version 1: = 1 rad/s; Zeq = j(11/6 – 11/6) = 0
Version 2: = 2 rad/s; Zeq = j(112/6 – 11/62) = j2.75
Version 3: = 3 rad/s; Zeq = j(113/6 – 11/63) = j4.89

E. 7.070 A
Solution: The independent current source and
the 1 resistor in series with the dependent
source are redundant as far as IN is concerned.
The circuit becomes a shown. IN = Ix; the
parallel impedance of L and C is; (-j2)(j)/(-j2 + j) = j2 . From KVL, Vm45 = (2 + j2)Ix. It

12. The switch is opened at t = 0,
after being closed for a long
time. Determine dv/dt just after
the switch opens, given ISRC =
1 mA.
A. -1 V/ms
B. -2 V/ms
C. 0
D. 1 V/ms
E. 2V/ms
Solution: Before the switch opens, v = 0 and iL = 0. Both remain zero just after the switch is
opened. ISRC will therefore initially pass through the capacitor, which makes ISRC = -Cdv/dt, It
follows that dv/dt = -ISRC/C = -110-3/110-6 = -103 V/s = -1 V/ms.
Version 1: ISRC = 1 mA, dv/dt = -1 V/ms
Version 2: ISRC = 2 mA, dv/dt = -2 V/ms
Version 3: ISRC = 3 mA, dv/dt = -3 V/ms
Version 4: ISRC = 4 mA, dv/dt = -4 V/ms

terminal ‘ab’ (7 grades for VTh, 6 grades for ZTh).
Solution: Replacing the linear transformer by its T-equivalent circuit, it is seen that on open
circuit, the -j40 in series with
j10 gives -j30 . In parallel
with j30 , this results in an open
circuit. The current through the
-j5 is zero, so that both
terminals of this inductor are at
a
voltage 5IX. The current in the -j5
impedance is ISRC – Ix. From KVL, 10Ix + j5(ISRC – Ix) = 5Ix. This gives
A, and 5IX = 20 V. It
follows that VTh = Vab =
= 26.67 V.
On short circuit, the voltage of the dependent source
is still 20 V. The parallel impedance of j10 and j30 is
j7.5 . The current through the j5 impedance is 20/(j12.5)
A, From current division, ISC is this current multiplied by 3/4. This gives ISC = -j1.2 A. It follows
that ZTh = (80/3)/(-j1.2) = j200/9 = j22.22 .

14. Determine Zin looking into terminals ‘ab’.
Solution: Let a test voltage of 5VT be applied. The
voltages across the two windings are 4VT and VT.
w The current in the RC branch is

inductive branch is:
= 0.25VT(1 – j).
Ix = 0.4VT(1 + j) – 0.25VT(1 – j) = VT(0.15 + j0.65).
From the mmf equation, 4I1 + I1 + VT(0.15 + j0.65)
= 0, which gives I1 = -VT(0.03 + j0.13); I = 0.4VT(1 +
j) – VT(0.03 + j0.13) = VT(0.37 + j0.27); Zin =
5VT/VT(0.37 + j0.27) = 10.92-36.12 = 8.818 –

16. The switch is moved at t = 0 from
position ‘a’ to position ‘b’, after being
in position ‘a’ for a long time.
Determine: iO and vO as functions of
time for t 0 (5 grades and 6
grades).
Solution: Leq = 0.2 + 0.4 – 0.2 = 0.4 H.
The circuit for t 0 is as shown, where IO0 = 12 A; Ix0 = 20 A; VO0 = 24 – 80 = -56 V. In the
steady state, VOS = 0, and 2IOS – 4(IOS + 8) =
0, so that IOS = -16 A. The resistance seen
by the inductor is obtained by applying a
test source, with the independent soirce set
to zero. VT + 2IT = 4IT, which gives Reff = 2
, and R/L = 5 s-1. It follows that:
