For the network in Fig. 1, find Rab and the current in the upper 20-ohm resistor.

Fig. 1

Rab = 9.23ohms
Using mesh current analysis, find the current io in the circuit of Fig. 2. Also, calculate the power
dissipated in each resistor.

Fig. 2

Io = 8A
Power – 4ohms=576W, 8ohms=184.3W, 2ohms= 154.9W, 1ohms=64W
Given the circuit in Fig. 3, obtain the Norton equivalent as viewed from terminals a-b and the Thevenin’s
equivalent as viewed from c-d.

Fig. 3
A-B IN= 7A RN= 2ohms
C-D Vth= 19Volts Rth= 1.5 ohms
