    The text discusses combining resistors and applying Kirchhoff's Laws to solve circuit analysis problems.

    Resistors are combined in series by adding their resistances and in parallel by calculating the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances.

    Kirchhoff's Laws (KVL and KCL) are applied by writing loop or node equations and solving the system of equations.

    CHAPTER 2

    P.P.2.1 i = V/R = 110/15 = 7.333 A

    P.P.2.2 (a) v = iR = 3 mA[10 kohms] = 30 V

    (b) G = 1/R = 1/10 kohms = 100 µS

    (c) p = vi = 30 volts[3 mA] = 90 mW

    P.P.2.3 p = vi which leads to i = p/v = [30 cos2 (t) mW]/[15cos(t) mA]

    or i = 2cos(t) mA

    R = v/i = 15cos(t)V/2cos(t)mA = 7.5 k

    P.P.2.4 5 branches and 3 nodes. The 1 ohm and 2 ohm resistors are in parallel.
    The 4 ohm resistor and the 10 volt source are also in parallel.

    P.P.2.5 Applying KVL to the loop we get:

    –32 + 4i – (–8) + 2i = 0 which leads to i = 24/6 = 4A

    v1 = 4i = 16 V and v2 = –2i = –8 V

    P.P.2.6 Applying KVL to the loop we get:

    –70 + 10i + 2vx + 5i = 0


    But, vx = 10i and v0 = –5i. Hence,

    –70 + 10i + 20i + 5i = 0 which leads to i = 2 A.

    Thus, vx = 20V and v 0 = –10 V

    P.P.2.7 Applying KCL, 0 = –15 + i0 + [i0 /3] + [v0 /12], but i0 = v0/2
    Which leads to: 15 = (v 0/2) + (v0/6) + (v0/12) = vo((6+2+1)/12) thus, v0 = 20 V and
    i0 = 10 A

    At the top node, 0 = –i1 + i2 + i3 or i1 = i2 + i3 (1)

    For loop 1 –10 + V1 + V2 = 0


    or V1 = 10 – V2 (2)

    For loop 2 – V2 + V3 – 6 = 0
    or V+3 =
    6 V2 (3)

    Using (1) and Ohm’s law, we get

    (V1/2) = (V2/8) + (V3/4)


    and now using (2) and (3) in the above yields

    [(10 – V2)/2] = (V2/8) + (V2 + 6)/4

    or [7/8]V2 = 14/4 or V 2 = 4 V

    V1 = 10 – V2 = 6 V, V3 = 4+6 = 10 V, i1 = (10–4)/2 = 3 A,
    i2 = 4/8 = 500 mA, i3 = 2.5 A

    Req

    Combining the 8-ohm, 10-ohm, and 6-ohm resistors in series gives 8+10+6 = 24.

    But, 12 in parallel with 24 produces [12x24]/[12+24] = 288/36 = 8 ohms.

    So that the equivalent circuit is shown below.

    Thus, Req = 4 + [6x12]/[6+12] + 3 = 11

    9

    Combining the 9 ohm resistor and the 18 ohm resistor yields [9x18]/[9+18] = 6 ohms.
    Combining the 5 ohm and the 20 ohm resistors in parallel produces [5x20/(5+20)] = 4
    ohms We now have the following circuit:

    16 4

    6 1
    20

    The 4 ohm and 1 ohm resistors can be combined into a 5 ohm resistor in parallel with a
    20 ohm resistor. This will result in [5x20/(5+20)] = 4 ohms and the circuit shown below:

    16 4

    The 4 ohm and 2 ohm resistors are in series and can be replaced by a 6 ohm resistor.
    This gives a 6 ohm resistor in parallel with a 6 ohm resistor, [6x6/(6+6)] = 3 ohms. We
    now have a 3 ohm resistor in series with a 16 ohm resistor or 3 + 16 = 19 ohms.
    Therefore:

    Req = 19 ohms
