1. Specify the type of response IO/VSRC in the circuit
shown.
Solution: The transfer function is
j L

+ ω
=
1
SCR
O
V
I
,
which is first-order lowpass.
2. Specify the order of the frequency-selective
circuit shown.
Solution: The impedance of one RC branch is five
times the other. The parallel impedance is therefore
5/6 of the lower impedance branch, that is, 5 Ω in
series with a capacitance 1/5 μF. This capacitance
can then be combined with the 1 μF capacitance to
give a first-order circuit.
3. Specify the type of response VO in the circuit shown
over the frequency range 1 rad/s to 1 Mrad/s.
Solution: Over the specified frequency range, the
impedances of L and C are finite, current flows in the
circuit, and the response
R

is independent of
frequency.

Version 5: K = 5, ω3dB = 5 rad/s
5. Determine the slope of the low-frequency asymptote of the transfer function of the
preceding problem.
Solution: At low frequencies, the magnitude of the transfer function is

. The slope is
+40 dB/decade.
6. Determine the equivalent capacitance between nodes a
and b, assuming all capacitances are C μF.
Solution: the circuit reduces to that
shown. The equivalent capacitance
between a and b is 2C + 2C/3 =
8C/3
Version 1: C = 1 μF, Cab = 8/3 =
2.67 μF
Version 2: C = 2 μF, Cab = 16/3 = 5.33 μF
Version 3: C = 3 μF, Cab = 24/3 = 8 μF
Version 4: C = 4 μF, Cab = 32/3 = 10.67 μF
Version 5: C = 5 μF, Cab = 40/3 = 13.33 μF
7. A constant current I A has been flowing through the
inductor for a long time. Determine the magnitude and
polarity of the impulse Kδ(t) that will reduce I to zero.
Solution: The initial flux linkage is 2I Wb-turns. The
impulse has to be of this strength and of the polarity of the source.
Version 1: I = 0.5 A, K = 2I = 1 Wb-turn
Version 2: I = 1 A, K = 2I = 2 Wb-turns
Version 3: I = 1.5 A, K = 2I = 3 Wb-turns
Version 4: I = 2 A, K = 2I = 4 Wb-turns
Version 5: I = 2.5 A, K = 2I = 5 Wb-turns

9. For t < 0, i(t) = 0 and v(t) = 4 V. At t = 0, a current
pulse of amplitude I μA and 1 s duration is
applied. Determine v(t) for t > 1 s.
Solution: For t < 0, the charges on the capacitors are
0.5×4 = 2 μC, 1.5×4 = 6 μC, and 2×4 = 8 μC. The value of the equivalent parallel
capacitor is 0.5 + 1.5 + 2 = 4 μC, its charge is 2 + 6 + 8 = 16 μC, and the voltage across
it is 16/4 = 4 V. The current pulse will add I×1 μC, so the total charge across the
equivalent capacitor will be (16 + I) μC, and the final voltage will be (16 + I)/4 = (4 + I/4)
V.
Version 1: I = 1 μA, v(∞) = 4 + 1/4 = 4.25 V
Version 2: I = 2 μA, v(∞) = 4 + 2/4 = 4.5 V
Version 3: I = 3 μA, v(∞) = 4 + 3/4 = 4.75 V
Version 4: I = 4 μA, v(∞) = 4 + 4/4 = 5 V
Version 5: I = 5 μA, v(∞) = 4 + 5/4 = 5.25 V
10. In the circuit shown, all inductances are L H, where L need not be
specified, i1(t) = I A, i2(t) = -3 A, and i3(t) = 3 – I A, for t < 0. If the
switch is opened at t = 0, determine i1(t) for t > 0.
Solution. Method 1: After the switch is opened the only closed path
remaining is that of i1(t) and i3(t). Hence, flux linkage in this closed path
must be conserved after the switch is opened. Going in the counterclockwise direction, the
total flux linkage before the switch is opened, is L×I – L(3 – I) = 2LI – 3L Wb-turns. After the
switch is opened, the total flux linkage in the counterclockwise direction in the same closed
path is L×i1(t) + L×i1(t) = 2Li1(t), where i1(t) flows upwards in the rightmost branch. Equating
these, i1(t) = I – 1.5 A.
p4/7
Method 2: The currents i1(t) and i3(t) can only
be changed by a voltage impulse. Let a
voltage impulse Kδ(t) arise of the polarity
shown, this polarity being quite arbitrary. The
impulse will add a flux linkage Δλ as shown,
where the initial flux linkages are shown in red and the final flux linkages in blue, the
direction of flux linkage being the same as that of current. The final currents in the two
branches must add to zero. Thus,

A, as before.
Method 3: The switch can be replaced by a voltage
source that applies an impulse Kδ(t) at t = 0. For t < 0, the
source acts as a short circuit, and the impulse at t = 0
reduces i2(t) to zero. The flux linkage applied to the
middle branch is Li = 3L Wb-turns in the direction shown,
so as to reduce the current to zero. The total flux linkage
is Li + (L/2)i, where L/2 is the total inductance of the two branches in parallel and i is the total
current in the two branches. The flux linkage in each of the two parallel branches is Li/2 Wb-
Turns directed upward, the same as in the parallel combination. Since, Li = 3L, Li/2 = 1.5 L
directed upward, as determined in Method 2.
Version 1: I = 0.5 A, i1(∞) = 0.5 – 1.5 = -1 A
Version 2: I = 1 A, i1(∞) = 1 – 1.5 = -0.5 A
Version 3: I = 1.5 A, i1(∞) = 1.5 – 1.5 = 0
Version 4: I = 2 A, i1(∞) = 2 – 1.5 = 0.5 A
Version 5: I = 2.5 A, i1(∞) = 2.5 – 1.5 = 1 A

6% (c) The final values of V1 and V2. Check that V1 + V2 = VSRC.
Solution: (a) The two parallel capacitors can be combined in a 6 μF
capacitor having a voltage of 3 V. The 3 μF capacitor has a voltage of 5 V.
The equivalent capacitor Ceq will have a capacitance of

μF and
a voltage of 8 V. The charge on this capacitor is therefore 16 μC.
(b) When connected to VSRC, the charge on Ceq μC will be 2VSRC and the additional charge is
(2VSRC – 16) μC.
(c) This charge will be added to each of the 3 μF capacitor and the 6 μF in series with it. The
3 μF capacitor will have a charge of (2VSRC – 16 +15) = (2VSRC – 1) μC, so V1 = (2VSRC – 1)/3
V. The 6 μF capacitor will have a charge of (2VSRC – 16 +18) = (2VSRC + 2) μC, and V2 =
(VSRC + 1)/3 V. As a check, V1 + V2 = VSRC.
Version 1: VSRC = 10 V, Δq = (2VSRC – 16) = 4 μC; V1 = (2VSRC – 1)/3 V = 6.33 V, V2 = (VSRC

Version 2: VSRC = 12 V, Δq = (2VSRC – 16) = 8 μC; V1 = (2VSRC – 1)/3 V = 7.67 V, V2 = (VSRC

Version 3: VSRC = 14 V, Δq = (2VSRC – 16) = 12 μC; V1 = (2VSRC – 1)/3 V = 9 V, V2 = (VSRC +

Version 4: VSRC = 16 V, Δq = (2VSRC – 16) = 16 μC; V1 = (2VSRC – 1)/3 V = 10.33 V, V2 =
(VSRC + 1)/3 V = 5.67 V
Version 5: VSRC = 18 V, Δq = (2VSRC – 16) = 20 μC; V1 = (2VSRC – 1)/3 V = 11.67 V, V2 =
