Circuit Variables Assessment Problems AP 1.1 To solve this problem we use a product of ratios to change units from dollars/year to dollars/millisecond. We begin by expressing $10 billion in scientific notation: $100 billion = $100 x 10° Now we determine the number of milliseconds in one year, again using product of ratios: Lyear_ day | Lhour min _1 sec 365.25 days "24 hours 60 mins 60 secs 1000 ms Lyear 31.5576 x 10° ms Now we can convert from dollars/year to dollars/millisecond, again with a product of ratios: $100 x 10° 1 year 100 Tyear "31.5576 x 10° ms 31.5576 = $3.17/ms AP 1.2. First, we recognize that 1 ns = 10-® s. The question then asks how far a signal will travel in 10-9 s if it is traveling at 80% of the speed of light Remember that the speed of light c = 3 x 10° m/s. Therefore, 80% of (0.8)(3 x 108) = 2.4 x 108 m/s. Now, we use a product of ratios to convert from meters/second to inches/nanosecond: 24x10%m 1s 100cm Lin _ (2.4 x 108)(100) _ 9.45 in 1s TPns’ Im 254em —(10*)(2.54) Ts ‘Thus, a signal traveling at 80% of the speed of light will travel 9.45" in a nanosecond. 141-2 AP 13 AP 14 CHAPTER 1. Circuit Variables Remember from Eq. (1.2), current is the time rate of change of charge, or i= 4 In this problem, we are given the current and asked to find the total charge. ‘To do this, we must integrate Eq. (1.2) to find an expression for charge in terms of current: ‘ a(t) = [ ile) de We are given the expression for current, i, which can be substituted into the above expression. To find the total charge, we let t + oo in the integral. Thus we have total = Recall from Eq. (1.2) that current is the time rate of change of charge, or i= 4. In this problem we are given an expression for the charge, and asked to find ‘the maximum current. First we will find an expression for the current using Eq.

Thus, t= 1/a will cause the current to be maximum. For this value of t, the current is 1 1 aja aAP LS AP 16 Problems 1-3 Remember in the problem statement, a = 0.03679. Using this value for a, 1 210A Tuer Start by drawing a picture of the circuit described in the problem statement: 20v 02 aA Also sketch the four figures from Fig. 1.6: + +1 + +1 22 (@) ©) + z 1 a +2 cc) @ [a] Now we have to match the voltage and current shown in the first figure with the polarities shown in Fig. 1.6. Remember that 4A of current entering Terminal 2 is the same as 4A of current leaving Terminal 1. We get (a)v=-20V, i=-4A; (bt) v=-20V, ()v=20V, i=-4A; (a) v=20V, [b] Using the reference system in Fig. 1.6(a) and the passive sign convention, p= vi = (—20)(~4) = 80W. Since the power is greater than 0, the box is absorbing power. [ec] From the calculation in part (b), the box is absorbing 80 W. =4A 4a Applying the passive sign convention to the power equation using the voltage and current polarities shown in Fig. 1.5, p = vi. From Eq, (1.3), we know that power is the time rate of change of energy, or p . If we know the power, we can find the energy by integrating Eq. (1.3). To begin, find the expression for power: vi = (10,0067) (206%) = 200,000¢~10:0% = 2 x 10%e 10 W1-4 CHAPTER 1. Circuit Variables Now find the expression for energy by integrating Eq. (1.3): w(t) =f ‘pla) de Substitute the expression for power, p, above. Note that to find the total energy, we let + oo in the integral. Thus we have ~ 10,000 AP 1.7 At the Oregon end of the line the current is leaving the upper terminal, and thus entering the lower terminal where the polarity marking of the voltage is negative. Thus, using the passive sign convention, p = —vi. Substituting the values of voltage and current given in the figure, —(800 x 10°)(1.8 x 10%) = —1440 x 10° = —1440 MW ‘Thus, because the power associated with the Oregon end of the line is negative, power is being generated at the Oregon end of the line and transmitted by the line to be delivered to the California end of the line.

Summing the currents leaving the node, 1A —5A42A44A+ing=0 50 itn =5A-2A—4A= Thus, the current in the 10 resistor is 1A, flowing right to left, as seen in the circuit below.Problems 2-11 [a] ‘To find v,, write a KVL equation, summing the voltages counter-clockwise around the lower right loop.

The power associated with this source is p=vi = (70V)(3A) = 210W Thus, 210 W are absorbed by the voltage source.

Circuit Elements Problems P21 — [a] Yes, independent voltage sources can carry the 8 A current required by the connection; independent current source can support any voltage required by the connection, in this case 20 V, positive at the top. {b] 30 V source: absorbing 10 V source: delivering 8A source: delivering [ec] Psov = (30)(8) = 240 W (abs) Pry = —(10)(8)=—80W (del) Poa = —(20)(8)=-160 W (del) DPave = > Paet = 240 W [d] The interconnection is valid, but in this circuit the voltage drop across the 8 A current source is 40 V, positive at the top; 30 V source is absorbing, the 10 V source is absorbing, and the 8 A source is delivering Pry = (30)(8) = 240 W (abs) Pov (10)(8) = 80 W (abs) Pan —(40)(8) = -320 W (del) YPaw = Y2Paet = 320 W P22 The interconnection is valid. The 10 A current source has a voltage drop of 100 V, positive at the top, becanse the 100 V source supplies its voltage drop across a pair of terminals shared by the 10 A current source. The right hand branch of the circuit must also have a voltage drop of 100 V from the left terminal of the 40 V source to the bottom terminal of the 5 A current source, because this branch shares the same terminals as the 100 V source. This means that the voltage drop across the 5 A current source is 140 V, positive at the top. Also, the two voltage sonrees can carry the current required of the interconnection. This is summarized in the figure below:P23 P24 Problems 2-13 4ov +) + + 10a 1100V 100V sa(D)uov From the values of voltage and current in the figure, the power supplied by the currents sources is calculated as follows: Pox = —(100)(10) = -1000 W (dev) Psa = —(140)(5) = —700 W (dev) YD Pee = 1700 W ‘The interconnection is not valid. Note that both current sources in the right hand branch supply current through the 100 V source. If the interconnection was valid, these two current sources would supply the same current in the same direction, which they do not. ‘The interconnect is valid since the voltage sources can all carry 5 A of current, supplied by the current source, and the current source can carry the voltage drop required by the interconnection. Note that the branch containing the 10 V, 40 V, and 5 A sources must have the same voltage drop as the branch containing the 50 V source, so the 5 A current source must have a voltage drop of 20 V, positive at the right.

Circuit Elements LC Pier = 300 W P25 The interconnection is valid, since the voltage sources can carry the 10 A current supplied by the current source, and the current sources ean carry whatever voltage drop is required by the interconnection. In particular, note the the voltage drop across the three sources in the right hand branch must be the same as the voltage drop across the 20 A current source in the middle branch, since the middle and right hand branch are connected between the same two terminals. In particular, this means that 14(the voltage drop across the middle branch) = 100V — 50V — (the voltage drop across the right hand branch) Hence any combination of v and v2 such that v + v% = 50 V is a valid solution, P26 12V The interconnection is invalid. The voltage drop between the top terminal and the bottom terminal on the left hand side is due to the 6 V and 8 V sources, giving a total voltage drop between these terminals of 14 V. But the voltage drop between the top terminal and the bottom terminal on the right hand side is due to the 4 V and 12 V sources, giving a total voltage drop between these ‘two terminals of 16 V. The voltage drop between any two terminals in a valid circuit must be the same, so the interconnection is invalid. P27 [a] Yes, each of the voltage sources can carry the current required by the interconnection, and each of the current sources can carry the voltage drop required by the interconnection. (Note that iq = 5 A.) [b] No, because the voltage drop between the top terminal and the bottom. terminal cannot be determined. For example, define vj, vp, and vy as.
