P7.3.1
(a) Determine the
equivalent capacitance
between terminals ‘ab’ in
Figure
P7.3.1 if all the
capacitances are1 F. (b)
Determine the equivalent
inductance between
terminals ‘ab’, assuming
that
all capacitors in Figure
P7.3.1 are replaced by inductors of 1 H.
Solution: (a) The middle combinations are equivalent to a 1 F capacitor each. Each branch
becomes three 1 F capacitors in series, or 1/3 F. The two branches in parallel
give 2/3 F.
(b) The middle combinations are equivalent to a 1 H inductor each. Each branch
becomes three 1 H inductors in series, or 3 H. The two branches in parallel
give 3/2 H.
P7.3.5
(a) Determine the equivalent inductance between
terminals ‘ab’ in Figure P7.3.5, assuming all
inductances are 2 H (b) Determine the equivalent
capacitance between terminals ‘ab’, assuming that all
inductors in Figure P7.3.5 are replaced by capacitors
of the same value in F.
Solution: (a) Two 2 H inductors in parallel are equivalent to 1
H. This in series with 2 H is 3 H. In parallel
with 1 H, the equivalent inductance is ¾ H.
(b) Two 2 F capacitors in parallel are equivalent to 4 F.
This in series with 2 F is 4/3 F. In parallel with 4 F,
the equivalent capacitance is 16/3 F.

circuits in the dc steady state; (c) compare voltage division in given circuit with
current division in dual circuit; (d) compare the power delivered or absorbed by
each circuit element in the two circuits.
Solution: (a) The dual of 15 V in series with three branches is 15 A in parallel with duals of
the series branches. The dual of 10 is 10 S,the dual of 10 H is 10 F,
andthe dual of 2 F in parallel with 20 is 2 H in series with 20 S.
(b) The two circuits are shown in the dc state, whereby, inductors act as short
circuits and capacitors as open
circuits.
(c) From voltage division in the given
circuit, the voltage across the 10
resistance is 5 V, and that across
the 20 resistance is 10 V. From
current division in the dual circuit, the
current through the 10 S conductance is
5 A, and that through the 20 S conductance is 10 A.
(d) The current through the 15 V source is 0.5 A, and the voltage across the 15 A
source is 0.5 V. The power delivered in each case is 7.5 W. The 10 resistor
dissipates 25/10 = 2.5 W, and the 10 S resistor dissipates 25/10 = 2.5 W. The
20 resistor dissipates 100/20 = 5 W, and the 20 S resistor dissipates
100/20 = 5 W.
P8.1.6
Given A = 3 + j5, B = 10 – j8, and C = j12. Determine the phasors resulting from
the following operations: (a) ABC; (b) (AB)/C; (c) (A/B)C; and (d) A/B/C.
Express the result in rectangular and polar forms.
Solution: Using MATLAB:
A=3+j5, B=10–j8, C=j12.
(a) a=A*B*C gives -312 + j840.
[tha,ra]=cart2pol(real(a),imag(a)) gives 1.9264, 896.1 896.1110.4.
(b) b=(A*B)/C gives 2.1667 – j5.8333.
[thb,rb]=cart2pol(real(b),imag(b)) gives –1.2152, 6.223 6.223-69.62.
(c) c=(A/B)*C gives -5.4146 – j0.7317.

P8.1.9
Using phasors, determine the steady-state y that satisfies the differential
equation:
Express y as a cosine time function (Hint: express the RHS as a phasor).
Solution: The problem will be solved using phasor notation. The RHS is , where , or in
phasor notation . Differentiation is equivalent in the steady state to multiplying by
j, or j4, and integration is equivalent to dividing by j4. The LHS becomes (j24 + 3
– j/2)Y = , where the angle is in radians. Hence, Y= , or 0.472–146.2. As a
cosine function of time this is 0.472cos(4t – 146.2). Using phasors is equivalent
to ignoring the constant in the integration on the LHS.
