Figure

(1) 25Ω (2) 60 Ω (3) 100 Ω (4) 2000 Ω

Voltage across 60Ω = 160 − 100 = 60𝑉

60𝑉
Current through 60Ω = 60Ω = 1𝐴𝑉𝑅2 = 40𝑉 𝑉𝑅1 + 𝑉𝑅2 = 100𝑉

𝑉𝑅1 = 60𝑉
𝐼𝑅1 = 1𝐴
𝑅1 = 60Ω

From the figure 𝑖𝑥 = 5𝐴

voltage across Dependent Source = 10𝑉
power = 𝑣 × 𝑖 = 50𝑊
but current flowing from + ve to -ve therefore it absorbs power i.e., 50𝑊

now 1𝜇𝐹&5.5𝜇𝐹 are in parallel.

𝐶𝑒𝑞 = 1 + 5.5 = 6.5𝜇𝐹

value of R is:
(1) 20 ohms (2) 200 ohms (3) 800 ohms (4) 500 ohms .
 If a transmission line terminates with its characteristic impedance then there is no
reflection of voltage and current at the load junction. Therefore, answer is 500
Ohms.
