Question 1 [10 pts]: For the circuit shown in Figure 1, find the energy stored in the
capacitor and inductor, under steady-state dc conditions.

Solution:
10 − 𝑣𝑐
= 10 → 𝑣𝑐 = −30 V

Question 2 [10 pts]: For the circuit given in Figure 2,


Part (a) [4 pts]: Use nodal analysis to write down all nodal equations.
Part (b) [4 pts]: Use mesh analysis to write down all mesh equations.
Part (c) [1 pts]: Which of these two analysis techniques (mesh or nodal) would you
prefer for calculate 𝐼1 , if you had to minimize your effort? State
reasons for your choice.
Part (d) [1 pts]: Suppose the four sources are interchanged in the following
manner: 10V and 4A sources exchange positions with each other,
and the 8V and 1A sources exchange positions with each other. For
this new circuit, would your preferred analysis technique differ
from that in part (c) to calculate 𝐼1 ? State reasons.

Solution:

For nodal equations:

𝑣1 − 𝑣2 𝑣3
−4 + +1+ =0 → 𝑣1 − 𝑣2 + 2𝑣3 = 36
12 6
𝑣2 − 𝑣1 𝑣2 − 8 𝑣2
−1+ + =0 → −𝑣1 + 10𝑣2 = 36
12 4 2
𝑣1 − 𝑣3 = 10
For mesh equations:

12(𝑖1 − 4) + 10 + 6𝑖2 + 2(𝑖2 − 𝑖3 ) = 0 → 6𝑖1 + 4𝑖2 − 𝑖3 = 19


4(𝑖3 − 4) + 2(𝑖3 − 𝑖2 ) − 8 = 0 → −𝑖2 + 3𝑖3 = 12
𝑖1 − 𝑖2 = 1

𝑣2 −𝑣1
Using nodal, 𝐼1 = . Using mesh, 𝐼1 = 12(𝑖1 − 4). Both are simple calculations and have same
12
number of equations. So, there is no actual preference here. After the sources are interchanged,
for mesh analysis you will only need 2 equations, while you will need 4 equations for nodal
analysis. Mesh analysis would be preferable.

Question 3 [10 points]: The circuit in Figure 3 below is a common-collector transistor


amplifier, and you are calculating its input resistance. Determine
the Thévenin equivalent resistance of the circuit to the right of the
dashed line. Assume 𝑟𝜋 = 1𝑘Ω.

Question 4 [10 points]: For the circuit in Figure 4 below, find the Norton equivalent circuit
between the nodes 𝑎 and 𝑏.

Solution:

For Thevenin, 𝑉TH = 𝑣𝑎𝑏 = 𝑣𝑎 − 𝑣𝑏

𝑣𝑎 = 2𝑣𝑎𝑏 ( ) = 𝑣𝑎𝑏 𝑣𝑏 = 6 × 2 = 12 V

𝑣𝑎𝑏 = 𝑣𝑎𝑏 − 12 → 𝑣𝑎𝑏 = 𝑉TH = −36 V

Shorting 𝑎 and 𝑏 for Norton, we get 𝑣𝑎𝑏 = 0.
Using current divider rule:
