No. Circuit Required

1 Using superposition, determine the current flowing through and the

voltage across the 2 − Ω resistor (i1 and v1, respectively). Specifically, do
the following:
a) Draw the equivalent circuit with 4V acting alone.
b) Determine ii’ (current due to 4-V acting alone) by hand/manual
calculation.
c) Determine v1’ (voltage due to 4-V acting alone) by hand/manual
calculation.
d) Draw the equivalent circuit with 6A acting alone.
e) Using circuit simulation software (NI Multisim or EveryCircuit),
simulate your circuit (from part d) and properly add Ammeter and
4V Voltmeter to determine ii” and v1”, the current and voltage,
respectively, due to 6A acting alone. Use the bottom node as
ground/reference node.
f) From your results in parts (b), (c) and (e), determine the total
current and voltage (i1 and v1).
g) Check your results (from part f, for i1 and v1) by simulating the
original given circuit (with both 4V and 6A).

A.) Draw the equivalent circuit with 4V acting alone. B.&C.) Determine ii’ (current due to 4-V acting alone) by hand/manual calculation.
 Determine v1’ (voltage due to 4-V acting alone) by hand/manual calculation.

D.) Draw the equivalent circuit with 6A acting alone. E.) Using circuit
simulation software (NI Multisim or EveryCircuit), simulate your circuit
(from part d) and properly add Ammeter and
Voltmeter to determine ii” and v1”, the current
and voltage, respectively, due to 6A acting alone. Use the bottom node as
ground/reference node.
 F.) From your results in parts (b), (c) and (e), determine the total current G.) Check your results (from part f, for i1 and v1) by simulating the original
given circuit (with both 4V and 6A).

2 (a) Make use of source transformations to first convert all three sources
in the figure to voltage sources, then simplify the circuit as much as
possible and calculate the voltage Vx which appears across the 4Ω
 resistor. Be sure to draw and label your simplified circuit.
(b) Simulate each circuit (original and simplified) to verify your results
(4Ω voltage). Measure the current flowing through4Ω and calculate
its power absorbed.
Use bottom node as ground/reference node.

3 From the given circuit, determine the Thevenin and Norton equivalent
circuits. Specifically, do the following:
a) Draw the equivalent circuit if you are going to perform Open Circuit
Test (OCT) (at terminals a-b, with the load resistor RL disconnected) b)
Using circuit simulation software (NI Multisim or EveryCircuit),
simulate your circuit (from part a) and determine the open circuit
voltage, Voc. This will now be your thevenin equivalent voltage
source, Vth.
c) Draw the equivalent circuit if you are going to perform Short Circuit
Test (SCT)
(at terminals a-b, with the load resistor RL disconnected)
d) Using circuit simulation software (NI Multisim or EveryCircuit),
simulate your circuit (from part c) and determine the short circuit
current, Isc. This will now be your Norton equivalent current
source, In.
e) From your OCT & SCT results, what is the value of Thevenin
equivalent resistance (Rth) and Norton equivalent resistance (Rn)? f)
Draw the Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits and reconnect the
load resistor RL.
g) (Hand/manual calculations): What must be the load resistor, RL, to
be connected at terminals a-b such that maximum power is
delivered to it? What is this maximum power?
