Q1. (a) Find the Thevenin equivalent of the circuit shown in Figure below
(b) A sinusoidal signal has a value of -5A at t =0 and reaches its first maximum
(negative) of -10A at t = 2msec.
(i) Sketch the graph
(ii) Write down the equation for i(t) and
(iii) find its value at t = 5msec. hence,
(iv) determine the frequency and period
Q2. (a) A sinusoidal current with a frequency of 60Hz reaches its positive maximum of 20A
at time 2ms. Write down the equation of this current as a function of time and
convert your answer in phasor.
(b) Perform the following operation and express the final result in polar form.
= 5 ¿ 30 ° +8←30 ° (c).
write short notes on the following
(i) Voltage source
(ii) Current Source
Q3. For a sinusoidal wave, the average value over a complete cycle is zero since the charge
transferred during the negative half cycle is just equal and opposite to that transferred
over the positive half cycle.
(i) Show that the full cycle of the voltage value is zero [10]
(ii) Thus for the wave shown in figure 2 calculate the maximum voltage value [6]
