Assignment-1 (Unit 1)
DC Circuits:
1) What is Resistivity and conductivity?
2) State and Explain Kirchhoffs Current and voltage law.
3) Derive the relation for star to delta network.
4) Define temperature co-efficient of resistance. Prove that: R2 = R1(1 + (t2 t1))
5) Classify the different type of materials. How does the resistance of different materials vary
with temperature?
