    ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS [Total marks – 100]

    1. For the given circuit below:


    a. Use source transformation to convert the circuit in FIGURE A to
    FIGURE B - i.e. Calculate the value of R1 and V1 in FIGURE B
    [8]

    FIGURE A

    FIGURE B
    b) Calculate the value of V3 in FIGURE B above. [6]

    Mesh: 30-6i-3i-6i = 0
    30 = 15i
    i = 2mA
    V3 = 2mA(6K) = 12 V

    2. For the given circuit of FIGURE 2:


    Use the superposition principle to find voltages V1 and V2. [18]
    FIGURE 2
    V1 and V2 due to the voltage source:

    2𝑣
    V2 =
    3
    v = 5-V1
    2 (5−V1 )
    V2 =
    3
    3V2 = 10 -2V1 …….(1)

    5−𝑣1 𝑣1−𝑉2
    @ Node V1: =
    3𝑘 3𝑘

    V2 = 2V1-5 ………(2)
    Substitute (2) into (1)
    3(2V1-5) = 10-2V1
    8V1 = 25
    V1 = 3.125V and V2 = 2(3.125)-5 = 1.25V
    V1 and V2 due to the current source:

    2𝑣
    V2 =
    3
    v = 0 - V1
    3V2 = -2V1 …..(1)

    𝑉1 𝑣1−𝑉2
    @Node V1: + = 3mA
    3𝑘 3𝑘
    V2 = 2V1-9 ….. (2)
    Substitute (2) into (1)
    3(2V1-9) = -2V1
    8V1 = 27
    V1 = 3.375V , V2 = 2(3.375) -9 = -2.25 V

    Therefore: V1 = (3.125+3.375)V = 6.5 V and V2 = (1.25-2.25)V = -1V

    3. For the circuit in FIGURE 3:


    a) Using nodal analysis, find the voltages for V1, V2 and V3 [18]
    FIGURE 3
    @Supernode: V3-V2 = 2v
    v=V1-V2
    V3-V2 =2(V1-V2)
    V3 = 2V1-V2 ………. (1)
    15−𝑣1 𝑣1−𝑉2 𝑣1−𝑉3
    @Node V1: = +
    2.5𝑘 2𝑘 6𝑘
    V3 = 6.4V1 – 3V2 – 36 ……(2)
    15−𝑣1 15−𝑉2
    @Node Vs: + = i ………….(3)
    2.5𝑘 11𝑘

    𝑣2 𝑉3
    @Ground Node: + = i ……….(4)
    2𝑘 16𝑘
    Equate (3) and (4)
    15−𝑣1 15−𝑉2 𝑣2 𝑉3
    + = +
    2.5𝑘 11𝑘 2𝑘 16𝑘
    70.4V1 +104V2 +11V3 = 1296 …..(5)
    Substitute (1) into (2) and (5)
    4.4V1-2V2 = 36 ……..(6)
    92.4V1+93V2 = 1296 …..(7)
    204.6V1-93V2 = 1674 ….(8) multiply 6 by 46.5
    Add (7) and (8)
    297V1 = 2970
    V1 = 10 V, V2 = 4V and V3 = 16V

    4. In the circuit shown in FIGURE 4,


    Find mesh currents I1 and I2 and node voltages V1 and V2 in the circuit shown
    in FIGURE 4. [17]

    FIGURE 4
    Mesh 1: 5-5kI1 – 3k(I1-I2) = 0
    5 – 8kI1+3KI2 = 0 …….(1)

    Mesh 2: 3k(I1-I2)-4kI2-1000ia =0 or -3k(I2-I1)-4kI2-1000ia …. (2)


    ia = I1-I2
    substitute ia into (2)
    3k(I1-I2) – 4kI2 – 1000(I1-I2) = 0
    I1 = 3I2 …..(3)
    Substitute (3) into (1)
    5-8k(3I2)+3kI2 =0
    21kI2 = 5
    I2 = 0.238mA
    I1 = 3(0.238mA) = 0.714mA
    V1 = 3k(I1-I2) = 3k(0.714mA-0.238mA) = 1.428 V
    V2 = 1000ia =1000(0.714mA-0.238mA) = 0.476 V

    5. Use Norton principles to find the Norton equivalent circuit between a and b in

    6-2.5kI1+2kI2 = 0 …..(1)

    Mesh 2: 2k(I1-I2)-0.5kI2 – 4k(I2-I3) -0.3v = 0 or -3k(I2-I1)-0.5kI2-4k(I2-I3)-0.3v = 0


    2kI1-6.5kI2+4kI3 -0.3v=0 ….(2)
    v = 3k(I1-I2)
    substitute v into 2: 2kI1-6.5I2+4kI3 -0.3(3kI1-3kI2) = 0
