Answer: c
Explanation: The circuit in which current has a complete
path to flow is called closed circuit. When the current path is
broken so that current cannot flow, the circuit is called an
open circuit.
Answer: a
Explanation: If the voltage-current characteristic is a straight
line through the origin, then the element is said to be Linear
element. The difference in potential energy of charges is

Answer: a
Explanation: R2 is parallel to R3. So equivalent resistance
of R2 and R3 is 1K. The total resistance in the circuit is
(1+1+1)K= 3K.Current in the circuit is 3V/3KΩ= 1mA.
Answer: c
Explanation: If the resistances are in series, then equivalent
resistance is the sum of all the resistances that are in
series. Equivalent resistance is (3+5+7+9)Ω= 24Ω.

Voltage & Current Sources - Network Theory Q... about:reader?url=https://www.sanfoundry.com/...
Answer: b
Explanation: If the voltage source is to be neglected, it can
be replaced simply by means of a wire i.e, it should be short
circuited.
Answer: c
Explanation: A practical voltage source can be represented
with a resistance in series with the source. Hence, there
would be some voltage drop at the resistor and the terminal
voltage is always lower than the source emf.

completely independent of voltage and it has infinte internal
resistance.

a) 1.93 V
b) 2.83 V
c) 3.5 V
d) 5.7 V
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Here all the resistors are connected in parallel
and let the voltage be V. Hence, i15=V/15 , i5=V/5 , i2=V/2 ,
i1=V/1. By kirchhoff’s current law, V/15 + V/5 + V/2 V/1 +5 =
10. On solving equation, we obtain the value of V. As all
resistors are in parallel, voltage across each is same as V.

Answer: c
Explanation: KVL can be best suited for circuits with more
number of loops.
Answer: c
Explanation: By applying KVL to the loop, we get,
2 + 1 + V + 3 + 5 – 30 = 0.
Answer: c
Explanation: First, apply KCL to the second node i.e, i6 + I
= i8 . Next, apply KVL to the first loop i.e, -20 + V2 + V5 =0.
But V2 = 7*2=14V. Obtain V5 and I5=V5/5. Again apply
KVL to central loop i.e, -V5 + V6 + V = 0.
Apply KCL to the first node again, seek the value of V6 and
finally we get V.
