Have a look

I had been teaching this subject for all competitive examinations like JTO,
GATE, IES etc. for the past ten years in various Institutes in AP and I taught this
subject nearly 300 times.

Considering all my experiences, this question bank is prepared by

collecting questions from various competitive exams, various books and my
own thoughts.

This book is useful for any competitive exams. This book contains nearly
600 objective questions with key and no two questions will give same concepts.
Almost all the technical and typing mistakes are eliminated and I am giving
assurance of 98% accuracy.

This book is dedicated to all the my well wishers

I listen I forgot, I see I remember, I do I learn

 FREQUENTLY USED STATEMENTS IN NETWORKS

To find voltage at any node, start at same node and go towards ground in a shortest path
preferably following KVL sign conventions

If the branch is containing current source the value of branch current is always source
value itself and it is independent of branch resistance and potential difference across it.

When there is only voltage source between two principal nodes, then go for the principal
node

When there is current source in the branch, don’t consider that branch while forming
closed loop and write the mesh equations after skipping branch, which contain current
source.

Use nodal analysis to find voltages and mesh analysis to find currents when number of
nodal equations needed are equal to mesh equations needed

When there are super nodes in the network, number of nodal equations will be less than
mesh equations. In that case use nodal analysis to find branch currents also

When there are super meshes in the network, number of mesh equations will be less than
nodal equations. In that case use mesh analysis to find voltages also

To find VAB, start at A and go towards B following KVL sign conventions.

VAB : Voltage at A with respect to B = VA- VB

VA : Voltage at A with respect ground by default.

Two ideal voltage sources with different values can’t be connected in parallel.

Two ideal current sources with different values can’t be connected in series.

Two practical current sources in series cannot be combined

Two practical voltage sources in parallel cannot be combined

Ideal voltage source internal resistance is zero

Ideal current source internal resistance is infinite

Voltage across current meter is zero but voltage across current source cannot be
determined directly

Current through voltmeter is zero but current through voltage source cannot be
determined directly

Power dissipated in the resistor is always positive and independent of current direction

Power supplied by voltage source is positive if current flows from negative to positive
with in the terminal

Power absorbed by voltage source is positive if current flows from positive to negative
with in the terminal

When frequency of the sources are same either DC or AC use superposition theorem to
find current and voltage but not power. However when AC sources are there it takes
more time to find current or voltage, hence it is recommended not to use the same

When frequency of the sources are different use superposition theorem to find current,
voltage and power.

To find phase difference between two signals always see that both signals are in same
form either sin or cos and both must be in either positive or negative

Use phasor form to find RMS of the function if it contains same frequency components

Use square root method to find RMS of the function if it contains different frequency
components

Capacitor opposes sudden changes of voltage and inductor opposes sudden changes of
current

Voltage across capacitor is continuous function of time, Vc(0-)=Vc(0+) and current

through inductor is continuous function of time, IL(0-)= IL(0+)

Capacitor smoothen the voltage wave form and inductor smoothen the current wave form

For DC in steady state capacitor acts like open circuit element and inductor acts like
short circuit element and both conducts for AC

At 0+ capacitor can act as voltage source and value of source is same as VC(0-) and at
0+ inductor can act as current source and value of source is same as IL(0-)

If R=0, any RC circuit takes zero time to complete transient and if R=infinite, any RL
circuit takes zero time to complete transient

Impulse response is derivative of step response and ramp response is the integration of
step response

Derivative of discontinuous function is a impulse function whose strength is value of

discontinuity

DEMOCRACY MEANS FAITH IN SELF, IT MEANS FAIT IN ONE’S ABILITY TO STAND ON ONE’S
OWN FEET AND PROSPER BY ONE’S OWN EFFORTS.

WHAT WE NEED TO PROPAGATE IS THAT WEALTH COMES ONLY WITH THE APPLICATION OF
EVERYONE’S BEST EFFORTS. AND MAKING BEST EFFORTS NOT ONLY PRODUCES
DESIRABLE RESULTS, BUT ALSO IS A REWARD IN ITSELF.
