Q1.

Determine the current I and its direction for the following circuit. Before solving for I, redraw
the circuits with a single voltage source

Q2.

Eight holiday lights are connected in series as shown in

following figure.
a. If the set is connected to a 120-V source, what is the
current through the bulbs if each bulb has an internal
resistance of 28-.
b. Determine the power delivered to each bulb.
c. Calculate the voltage drop across each bulb.
d. If one bulb burns out (that is, the filament opens),
what is the effect on the remaining bulbs?

Q3.

A portion of a residential service to a home is depicted in the following figure.

a. Determine the current through each parallel branch of
the network.
b. Calculate the current drawn from the 120-V source.
Will the 20-A circuit breaker trip?
c. What is the total resistance of the network?
d. Determine the power supplied by the 120-V source.
How does it compare to the total power of the load?

Q5.

Find Thevenin equivalent circuit for the following circuit in the shaded area. Then find the
current through the load resistor (RL) for values of 2, 10 and 100.

Q6.

Using Branch Current Method, Write the Kirchhoff current equation (KCL) for the current
assignment shown at node A in the following circuit. Then solve for each of the Branch
