Figure Q1
Find the Thevenin Equivalent Looking into the terminals across RLOAD.
Figure Q2
With the aid of diagrams, explain the steps necessary to reduce the circuit to its
thevenin equivalent looking into the terminals across RLOAD
3.) Consider the circuit of figure Q3.
Figure Q3
Find the Thevenin Equivalent Looking into the terminals across RLoad.
Figure Q4
Figure Q5
The switch has been connected to the inductive circuit for a very long time. Sketch a
graph of the instantaneous power dissipated in the 50 ohm resistor between t=0s and
t=10s, if the switch is toggled at t=3.
6.) Figure Q6 below shows two systems communicating over a transmission line which can
be modeled as a ‘T’ circuit. System 1 encodes a digital bitstream (eg.
11110000101010110001) onto the transmission line by means of switching a 5V source
and has an output impedance of 10 ohms System two has an input impedance (Rin) of
1kohm and interprets voltages in a binary fashion with a high being over 2V (across Rin)
and a low being under 0.5 V.
Figure Q6
The systems are synchronized such that system 2 measures the voltage at its terminals
every time SW1 is triggered. Determine the maximum switching frequency that can be
used such that system 2 does not read any undefined states (voltages between 0.5 and
2V)
7.) Consider the circuit of Figure Q7:
Figure Q7
a.) The Switch SW1 closes at t=0. Using NODAL ANALYSIS determine the following:
i. The expression for the voltage at node A (assume components initially uncharged).
ii. The resonant frequency at node A.
b.) Do you expect the resonant frequency at node B to be the same as that of A or not?
Explain your answer.
HINT: First order circuits must be in the simple form (one source, one resistor in series with
inductor OR capacitor) for you to apply the charging and discharging equations developed. If
the circuit is more complex than that, it must be REDUCED to that form... What method can you
think of that can be used to reduce a circuit to such a simple form??
