Question Three
(a) The voltage and current at the terminals of the circuit element are zero for t  0 . For
t  0, they are
v = (1500t + 1) e −750t V
i = 40e−750t mA
i. Find the time when the power delivered to the circuit element is maximum.
ii. Find the maximum value of p in milliwatts.
iii. Find the total energy delivered to the circuit element in microjoules.
(b) Consider the circuit below;
i. Is the interconnection in the figure valid? Explain.
ii. Can you find the total energy developed in the circuit? Explain.

Question Four
(a) An electric stove four burners and an oven is used in preparing a meal as follows.

cents per kWh. Calculate the cost of electricity used in preparing the meal.
(b) In a household, a 120-W personal computer (PC) is run for 4 h/day, while a 60-W
bulb runs for 8 h/day. If the utility company (ZESCO) charges K3.0/kWh, calculate
how much the household pays per year on the PC and the bulb.
Question Five
