b. |Av|≈100
c. |Av|≈20
d. |Av|≈10
a. -5V
b. 2V
c. 3V
d. 6V
Solution Hint:
As Va-Vb =6 => I = V/R = 6/2 = 3A
entering current = leaving current [ KCL]
so current from Vd to Vc is same as 3A
convert the current source to voltage source
V = IR =2 x 1 = 2V
Vd = Vc + 2V + (3x1)V = Vc + 5V
Vc-Vd = -5V
a. 6.6A
b. 5.0A
c. 5.8A
d. 4.2A
Solution Hint:
Δic = 1.6A peak-to-peak
The positive peak = Δic /2
The current flows through the switch has a peak of = Io + Δic /2
For your information...The current waveform is like this
[27] The i-v characteristics of the diode in the circuit given below are

a. 10 mA
b. 9.3 mA
c. 6.67 mA
d. 6.2 mA
Sol. Hint:
we have to find v and then apply in ct. equ...
KVL...10 = 1K * i + v
10 = 1000i +v = 1000(v-0.7/500) + v
solve it ....v= 0.8...
[8] In the following figure, C1 and C2 are ideal capacitors. C1 has been charged to 12V before the ideal switch S
is closed at t=0. The current i(t) for all t is [GATE 2012]
a. Zero
b. A step function
c. An exponentially decaying function
d. An impulse function
Sol. Hint:
If it is RC ckt...ie any Resistance in series with capacitor, it will be an exponentially decaying function....here no
resistance...so charge instantly....ie impulse function...
