Homework 2: 15.09.2022
(Not for assessment)

1. The circuit given below, the voltage of the dependent voltage source depends on the current i as
shown, with voltage polarity and current direction as shown.

The value of the dependent voltage source (in units of Volt) is 2 × i, where i is measured in units of
Ampere. What is the value of the current is ? (Answer: −5A. Hint: Start by applying the Kirchoff
Voltage Law around the loop formed by the independent voltage source, the dependent voltage source,
and the resistor that carries the current i. Determine the value of i from this, and then proceed.)

2.

In this circuit, the load resistance Rl is connected between nodes 1 and 2 as shown. At what value of
Rl will maximum power be absorbed by Rl ? What is the maximum power that is absorbed by Rl ?

(Hints: Show that the Thevenin equivalent resistance seen at the nodes 1 and 2 is Rth = 4Ω. The
equivalent voltage is Vth = V1 − V2 with Rl removed. Show that, with respect to node 0, V1 = 11V and
V2 = −1V , so that Vth = 12V .)

i Determine expressions for v(t) and i(t).


+ Plot these variables. Repeat with the
+ v
12V 2Ω 0.1F switch closing at t = 0.

Hints:

Switch opens at t = 0: v(0) = 12V . Then the capacitor discharges through the resistors. This gives
v(t) = 12e−t/τ , where τ = 0.1 × (2 + 3) s.

Switch closes at t = 0: v(0) = 0V . As seen by the capacitor, the Thevenin equivalent resistance
Rth = 3Ω and voltage Vth = 12V . This gives v(t) = 12(1 − e−t/τ ), where τ = 0.1 × 3 s.

Determine expressions for v(t), i(t), i1 (t) and is (t). Plot these variables.

Hints: Show that the Thevenin equivalent resistance seen by the inductor is Rth = 4.5Ω, and equivalent
voltage is Vth = vs × 28 V . Before t = 0, vs = 18V for a long time, and so Vth = 4.5V . This gives the
inductor current i(0) = 1A. After t = 0, Vth = 0. The inductor current decreases to zero as given by
i(t) = 1 × e−t/τ , in which τ = 0.5
4.5 = 0.1111 s.
