1. (i) Determine the current Ix in the circuit of Figure 1.1 (a).

(ii) Determine I, I1, I2, Vab and Vbc in the circuit of Figure 1.1 (b).
(iii) Find ܸ௢ in the circuit of Figure 1.1 (c) and the power dissipated by the
controlled source.

2. In the circuit shown in Figure 1.2, determine ‫ݒ‬௫ and the power dissipated by
the 12-Ω resistor. (Hint: Reduce the part of the circuit on the right to an
equivalent resistor in series with the 1 Ω resistor.)

Figure 1.2

Ans: 2 V, 1.92 W

3. Obtain the equivalent resistance at the terminals a-b for the circuit in Figure
1.3. (Hint: Use Y-Δ transformation and note that the Y-network comprises
the three 10 Ω resistors.)

Ans: 9.231 Ω

4. Use nodal analysis to find ‫ݒ‬ଵ , ‫ݒ‬ଶ and ‫ݒ‬ଷ in the circuit of Figure 1.4. (Hint:
There is no voltage source in the circuit which is connected between two non-
reference nodes. Apply KCL to all the non-reference modes.)

Figure 1.4

Ans: 10 V, 4.933 V, 12.267 V

5. Determine voltage ‫ݒ‬ଵ through ‫ݒ‬ଷ in the circuit of Figure 1.5 using nodal
analysis. (Hint: Note that there is a voltage source in the circuit which is
connected between two non-reference nodes. Form a supernode using nodes
1 and 2. Also, note that in the circuit, conductance (in S) rather than resistance
(in Ω) is used.)

Figure 1.5

Ans: 18.858 V, 6.286 V, 13 V
