1. In the circuit shown below determine:

a. The Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits between terminals A and B

Thevenin

VAB=Vcapacitor= =32.1 27.1 ° V

b. The value of the load that would cause maximum power transfer

Zload=Zth=0.011838 °Ω

c. The maximum power value transferred to the load

Pmax= =1.59E7 Watts

d. The supply current when maximum power is transferred to the load

imax= =0.44 °A

2. Apply the superposition theorem to determine the currents I1, I2 and I3 in the following

network assuming:

E1 = 50V at -10o

E2 = 35V at +25o

Z1 = 15 Ω

Z2 = 21 Ω

Z3 = 27 Ω

Z4 = 17 – 22j Ω

Z5 = 19 + 33j Ω

Z6 = 39 Ω

3. Two coils have a mutual inductance of 0.93 H. When a load is connected to one of the coils

the current in the other coil is described by:

a. Determine the equation of the induced e.m.f. in the coil connected to the load.

XL=2 fL=0.93*100 =292.206 Ω

 Circuit Theory 5

V=iXcoil=7.5 292.206 =2191.545

b. If the load impedance is 12 + 5j Ω, calculate the current flowing through the

load.

I=V/(Xcoil + XL)=(2191.545 /(295.4538 87.7)=7.42 38.3 A

4. A circuit comprises of resistor of 39Ω, inductor of 570mH, and a capacitor of 0.61μF are

connected in parallel. A supply of 50V at 50 Hz is connected across the circuit. Calculate:

a. Impedance

d. Q-factor

Q= =4.592154

e. Bandwidth

Bandwidth=Resonant frequency/Q factor=185.8274 Hz

f. How does each of the above parameters change if the components are connected

in series?

Resonant frequency reduces by more than three times; fr= = 269.9 Hz
