Nodal & Mesh Analysis with Parallel and Series Resistive Voltage.

1.) 40Pts.

Find the values of current flowing

through 𝑣1 , 𝑣2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑣3 .
(𝑖4 , 𝑖6 , 𝑖8 , & 𝑖10 )

And the voltages (𝑣1 , 𝑣2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑣3 . )

stated.
Using Nodal and Mesh Analysis.

2.) 20Pts.
For the circuit shown at the left,
find the value of R such that there
will be a maximum Power Transfer

Note:

Solution:

𝑃 = 𝑉𝐼 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑉 = 𝐼𝑅 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑃 = 𝐼 2 𝑅

Lets consider, 𝑅𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑 = 𝑅

𝑉
𝑃 = 𝐼 2 𝑅 and since, 𝐼 = ∑𝑅 or the 𝑅𝑠 = 𝑆𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑅𝑠 = 𝑅𝑡ℎ + 𝑅𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑
𝑠
Where, 𝑅𝑡ℎ = 3.75𝑘Ω and 𝑅𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑 = 𝑅:

𝑣𝑡ℎ 𝑣 2
I= and replace this in 𝑃 = 𝐼 2 𝑅 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑃 = (3.75𝑘+𝑅
𝑡ℎ
) 𝑅  Power at Load R.
3.75𝑘+𝑅

𝑅

𝑃 = (𝑣𝑡ℎ ) (3.75𝑘+𝑅) where; 𝑣𝑡ℎ = 𝑣, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 3.75𝑘𝛺 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠, ;
 𝑑𝑣 𝑣 𝑑𝑢
𝑑𝑃 𝑑 𝑅 𝑑 𝑢 𝑢 −
= 0 = 𝑑𝑅 [ 𝑣 2
(3.75𝑘+𝑅)2
] ; using Quotient rule in Differential Calculus:𝑑𝑡 (𝑣 ) = 𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡
𝑑𝑅 𝑣2

𝑑𝑢
Similarly: 𝑢 = 𝑅; = 1{→ 𝐸𝑞𝑛. 1. } 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑣 = (3.75 + 𝑅)2 = ̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅
3.75𝑘 2 + 2(3.75𝑘𝑅) + 𝑅 2 ; thus,
𝑑𝑅
𝑑𝑣
= 2(3.75𝑘) + 2𝑅  Eqn. 24
𝑑𝑅

Now replace this to:

Quotient Rule

𝑑𝑅 𝑑𝑣
𝑑𝑃 𝑑 𝑅 𝑑 𝑅 (3.75𝑘+𝑅)2 −𝑅 (3.75+𝑅)2 (1)−𝑅 [2(3.75𝑘)+2𝑅]
2
= 0 = 𝑑𝑅 [ 𝑣𝑡ℎ (3.75𝑘+𝑅)2
] ; 𝑣 2 𝑑𝑅 [ (3.75𝑘+𝑅)2 ] = 𝑑𝑅 𝑑𝑅
=
𝑑𝑅 𝑣2 (3.75𝑘+𝑅)4

𝑑𝑃 (3.75+𝑅)2 (1)−𝑅 [2(3.75𝑘)+2𝑅] 𝑑𝑃

= (3.75𝑘+𝑅)4
and since for max. Power Transfer in (Diff.Calc.), =0 ,
𝑑𝑅 𝑑𝑅
then;

𝑑𝑃 (3.75+𝑅)2 (1)−𝑅 [2(3.75𝑘)+2𝑅]

= (3.75𝑘+𝑅)4
=0 ;
𝑑𝑅

(3.75𝑘 + 𝑅)2 (1) − 𝑅 [2(3.75𝑘) + 2𝑅] = 0

(3.75𝑘 + 𝑅)2 = 2𝑅 (3.75𝑘 + 𝑅)
Such that;
3.75𝑘 + 𝑅 = 2𝑅 and so; R = 3.75𝑘

Therefore for Max. Power Transfer, the 𝑅𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑 = 𝑅𝑡ℎ in this case.

If this is indeed the case…What is the max. Power Transfer Resistive Element you
can place if the circuit given to you in a 75v DC Power Supply and Transmission cable
with Resistive Element measured at 25kΩ? The circuit illustration is as shown.

From 75v is maximum?
