Applying nodal analysis

4 = V1 + V1 - 90
50 4+1
200 = V1 + 10V1 - 900

V1 = 100 volt
Power absorbed by 4 A source
P4 A =- 4 # V1 (Passive sign convention)

=- 4 # 100 =- 400 W
It means current source supplies 400 W.

QUESTION 2
The dependent current source shown in the figure

(A) delivers 80 W (B) absorbs 80 W

(C) delivers 40 W (D) absorbs 40 W

SOLUTION 1.1

V2 + V2 - V1 = V1
5 5 5
or, V2 = V1 = 20 V V
Voltage across dependent current source is 20 V. Using passive
sign convention power absorbed by dependent source is
P =- V2 # V1 (Current flows from - ve to + ve )
5

=- 20 # 20 =- 80 W
5
Since power absorbed is negative, the dependent source actually
delivers power.

QUESTION 3

QUESTION 6
Consider a circuit shown in the figure below. The voltage
across 5 W resistor is measured to be Vo . If a finite resistance is
connected in series with 5 A source, then value of Vo .

(A) decreases (B) increases

(C) remains unchanged (D) none of these

SOLUTION 1.1
Correct option is (C).
Adding a resistor in series with 5 A source does not change the
node equation at top right node, so Vo remains same.
