Solution: The AC components of f1(t) and f2(t) are
the same. The DC component of f1(t) is larger than that of f2(t). Hence, F1rms > F2rms.

7. Determine the maximum power that
can be delivered to RL, assuming R
= 0.5 Ω.
Solution: The primary voltage of the
upper transformer is always 1 V. On
3/5
open circuit, the source current is zero, the primary voltage is 5 – 1 = 4 V, and VTh = 8 V. On
short circuit, the primary voltage of the lower transformer is zero, the source current is (5 –
1)/R and the short circuit current is 2/R. This gives, RTh = 4R. The maximum power delivered
is (8)2/(4×4R) = 4/R.
