2. Lighting Systems (10 points): Fill in the blanks with ‘parallel’ or ‘series’.

Lighting systems, such as in a house or a Christmas tree, often consists of N light bulbs connected
in parallel or in series as shown below. Each light bulb is modeled as a resistor.

Assuming that all the lamps are identical and VO is the power-line voltage, the voltage across each
lamp is VO for the ( ) connection and VO/N for the ( ) connection.

Let’s compare these two different ways of connection. The ( ) connection of light bulbs is less
reliable because when a light bulb fails, all the light bulbs go out. The ( ) connection is easier
to maintain because when a light bulb is bad, one doesn’t need to test all the light bulbs one by
one to detect the faulty one.

3. Linear Circuits (10 points): Consider the circuit shown below. The rectangular box represents
the linear circuit consisting of multiple resistors and dependent voltage/current sources.

(a) (5 points) Suppose that the 3rd input port is deactivated, i.e., I3 = 0 A. Under this condition, Vout
= 12 V when V1 = 2 V and I2 = 3 A, and Vout = 17 V when V1 = 3 V and I2 = 4 A. If V1 = 1 V and
I2 = 2 A, what is the value of Vout?

(b) (5 points) Now the 3rd input port is activated while the 1st and 2nd input ports are deactivated,
i.e., V1 = 0 V and I2 = 0 A. Under this condition, Vout = 10 V when I3 = 2 A. If all three input ports
are activated with V1 = 5 V, I2 = -5 A, and I3 = 1 A, what is the value of Vout?

4. Transistor Circuits (15 points): The element symbol and equivalent circuit model of the npn-type
bipolar junction transistor are shown below.

Find the values of IB, IC, IE, and VCE in the following circuit. Assume that VBE = 0.7 V and b = 50.

(b) (6 points) If Rf = 10 kW and R = 10 kW, find |Vo| for [V1, V2, V3, V4] = [1 V, 0 V, 1 V, 1 V] and
[V1, V2, V3, V4] = [0 V, 1 V, 0 V, 1 V].

8. Applications of Operational Amplifiers (50 points): The ordinary difference amplifier for fixed-
gain operation is shown in (a). It is simple and reliable unless gain is made variable. One way of
providing gain adjustment without losing simplicity and accuracy is to use the circuit in (b). Another
way is to use the circuit in (c). Answer the following questions.
