Module 2

This document contains solutions to multiple circuit analysis problems using nodal analysis techniques. The first problem involves determining the current i in a circuit using nodal analysis at two nodes. The second problem determines the value of k that results in the node voltage vx being equal to zero. The third problem determines all four nodal voltages in a given circuit. The fourth problem finds the Norton equivalent of a given circuit seen between two terminals. The fifth problem determines the Norton equivalent and selects a value for an external resistor Rout to deliver maximum power.

Question: 40

Determine the Norton equivalent of the circuit drawn in Fig. 5.81 as seen by terminals a and b. (There
should be no dependent sources in your answer.)

Solution:
Taking above portion as reference and bottom as voltage V,
Also inserting a voltage source of 1V

Now we have nodal equation as

Ix +0.7=

V +1
2500

also Ix=

2 IxV
500

Putting Ix solving for V we get ,

V =290.5276 V
thus current flowing across1 V sorce is

I=

Now for Norton current we short the terminals

Thus applying nodal analysis we have:

Ix +0.7=

also Ix=

2 IxV

Solving we get :
Ix=

So Ix+.7=0.116277 A
116.277 mA

So nortoncurrent=116.3 mA

Determine the effective resistance Rin of the network exhibited in Fig. 5.99.

Solution:

Before doing this question it is important to learn star-delta and vice-versa


conversion.

Equations for the transformation from -load to Y-load

Equations for the transformation from Y-load to -load

Transferring the first part into star from delta we get:


R=( R*R+ R*R+ R*R)(R+R+R) = R/3

Which is:

Now above portion is in parallel. So,

Now the last is in parallel, which gives:


R=8/7 R (ans)
