Fundamentals of Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Chapter 1: Basic Electrical Concepts (Full Process Solutions)

Q1. Difference between Ideal and Practical Voltage Source


An ideal voltage source maintains constant voltage irrespective of load current and has zero internal
resistance. A practical voltage source has internal resistance and its terminal voltage drops with load.

Q2. Ohm’s Law


Ohm’s law states that at constant temperature, current through a conductor is directly proportional to
the applied voltage. Mathematically, V = IR. Example: If V = 10V and R = 5Ω, current I = 2A.

Q3. Types of Sources


Electrical sources are classified into voltage and current sources. They may be independent or
dependent. Dependent sources depend on circuit variables such as voltage or current.

Q4. Superposition Theorem


In a linear network with multiple sources, the current or voltage in any element is the algebraic sum of
responses due to each independent source acting alone while other sources are replaced by their
internal resistances.

Q5. Thevenin’s Theorem


Any linear bilateral network can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a single voltage
source Vth in series with a resistance Rth.

Q6. Norton’s Theorem


Any linear two-terminal network can be replaced by an equivalent current source IN in parallel with a
resistance RN.

Q7. Maximum Power Transfer Theorem


Maximum power is transferred to the load when load resistance equals source resistance. The
maximum power is given by Pmax = V² / 4R.

Q10. Kirchhoff’s Laws


Kirchhoff’s Current Law states that the algebraic sum of currents at a node is zero. Kirchhoff’s Voltage
Law states that the algebraic sum of voltages in a closed loop is zero.
Q11. Capacitance
Capacitance is the ability of a system to store electric charge. For series capacitors, 1/C = 1/C1 + 1/C2.
For parallel capacitors, C = C1 + C2.

Q12. Inductance
Inductance is the property of a coil to oppose change in current. For two inductors in series with mutual
inductance aiding, L = L1 + L2 + 2M.

Q13. Capacitors Numerical


Three capacitors of 10µF, 50µF, and 25µF connected to 250V. Charges are 2500µC, 12500µC, and
6250µC respectively. Series equivalent capacitance is 6.25µF.

Q14. Parallel Inductance Numerical


Inductance of 23.33mH must be connected in parallel with 100mH to obtain total inductance of 70mH.
