Attention: dr ngoyi.
Q 1. Figure .1(a) There two (2) branches and two (2) nodes.
Figure .1(b) There five (5) branches and four (4) nodes.
Figure .1(c) There six (6) branches and four (4) nodes.
Q2. Putting the nodes as they are mentioned the in the question, the circuit diagram looks like this.
-8v 4v
4v
A C
E
6v
1v 1v
B -3v
D
Now calculating for VAC, VAD and VAE say;
VAC = VAB+VBD+VDE+VEC
VAC = 6-3+1+4=8v
VAD = VAB+VBD
VAD = 6-3=3v
VAE =VAC+VCF+VFE or VAE = VAC+VCE
VAE = 8-8+4=4v VAE = 8+(-4) =4v
Q 3. (a) Converting the resistances from kiloohms to ohms, we have the following circuit diagram.
6v R1=0.002Ω R2=0.003Ω
18v
R3=0.007Ω I1
Then using KVL and KCL we have,
18 - 0.007I+6 – 0.002I – 0.003I = 0
-0.012I = - 24
I = 24/0.012
I = 2000Amps
Thus; VR1=IR1
VR1=2000(0.002)
=4v
VR2=IR2
VR2=2000(0.003)
=6v
VR3=IR3
VR3=2000(0.007)
=14v
(b) Power =Current × Voltage or Current squared × Resistance or Voltage squared ÷ Resistance
P=IV=I2R=V2/R
PR1=4×2000=8000w
PR2=6×2000=12000w
PR3=14×2000=28000w.
Q 4. The circuit in question is equivalent to the circuit below and using KVL and KCL to get power
delivered to the first 10 ohm we have;
I2 I1-I2
I1
10Ω
200Ω 100v 50Ω
100-10I1-50(I1-I2) = 0
100-10I1-50I1+50I2=0
(100-60I1+50I2=0) ÷10
10-6I1+5I2=0 Equation 1
(100-10I1-200I2=0) ÷10
10-I1-20I2=0
I1=-10+20I2 Equation 2
Using equation 1
-6(10-20I2) +5I2=-10
-60+120I2+5I2=-10
125I2=50
I2=50/125=0.4Amps, then using equation 2
I1=10-20I2
I1=10-20(0.4)
=2Amps which is the total current in the circuit.
I3=(I1-I2) =2-0.4=1.6Amps
Redrawing the circuit in the question we get;
(2-I1-I2) I1
I2
10Ω
40Ω
200Ω
60Ω
100v
26Ω
100-10(2)-40I2-26(I1+I2) =0
(80-66I2-26I1=0) ÷2
-33I2-13I1=-40 Equation 1
-60I1+40I2=0
(-60I1=-40I2) ÷10
(-6I1=-4I2) ÷2
I1=⅔I2 Equation 2
Now using equation 1 get;
-33I2-13(⅔I2) =-40
(-99I2-26I2)/3=-40
I2=0.96Amps then using equation 2,
I1=⅔I2
=⅔ (0.9) =0.64Amps
Therefore, P=I2R
P10Ω1= (2)2(10)
=40w
P10Ω2= (0.64)2(10)
=4w.
Q 5. By combining the resistances, the circuit reduce to;
RT1=(1200Ω×600Ω)/(1200Ω+600Ω)
=400Ω
RT2=(2000Ω×500Ω)/(2000Ω+500Ω)
=400Ω
RT1+100Ω=500Ω
RT2+200Ω= 600Ω RT1&2=400Ω
0.1A
900Ω
500Ω 300Ω 2000Ω 600Ω
RT3=(2000Ω×600Ω)/(2000Ω+600Ω)
=461.5Ω
RT4=(500Ω×300Ω)/(500Ω+300Ω)
=187.5Ω
0.1A
900Ω
187.5Ω
461.5Ω
RT5=RT3+RT4
=187.5Ω+461.5Ω
=649Ω.
RT6=(900Ω×649Ω)/(900Ω+649Ω)
=377.08Ω
Therefore, Power supply is PS=I2RT6
PS= (0.1)2(377.08)
=3.7708w
To find total voltage say;
P=V2/R then V=√ PR
VT=√ 377.08× 3.7708=37.7v
Having found the total voltage, current across the 900ohm can be calculated which will help to find
power across it.
37.7v
0v
0.1A
900Ω
I2
0.1-I2=I3
649Ω
37.7-900I2=0
I2= (37.7/900)
=0.04189Amps
P=I2R
= (0.04189)2(900)
=1.579w.
Q 6. (a) RT=1Ω+2Ω+3Ω+4Ω+5Ω=15Ω.
After adding the resistances in series, the circuit looks this one below.
100v 8Ω
I1
I2
60Ω 15Ω
I3
100-60I2-8I1=0
(100-60I2-8I1=0)/4
-2I1-15I2=-25 Equation 1
100-15(I1-I2)-8I1=0
100-15I1+15I2-8I1=0
-23I1+15I2=-100 Equation 2
Now solving equation 1and 2 simultaneously to I1 and I2
I1=125/25
=5Amps.
Then using equation 1
-2(5)-15I2=-25
-10+15=15I2
I2=15/15=1Amps
Thus, using ohms law
V=IR=1(60) =60v
VX=60v.
Q6. (b) By combining the resistances vx can be calculated as follows.
0.5
0.1
vx 0.2 0.3
0.25
RT= [(1/0.3) × (1/0.2)]/ [(1/0.3) +(1/0.2)] =1.999Ω
=1.999+(1/0.5) =3.999Ω
= [3.999× (1/0.25)]/ (3.999+4) =1.9997Ω
=1.9997+(1/0.1) =11.9997Ω
Hence VX=IR=4(11.9997) =47.9988v
VX =48.0v.
Q6. (c) By combining resistances 3Ω, 8Ω, 16Ω, and another 8Ω, the circuit reduces to two loops only.
RT =16Ω+8Ω=24Ω
RT1=(24Ω×8Ω)/(24Ω+8Ω) =6Ω
RT2 =(6Ω×3Ω)/(6Ω+3Ω) =2Ω the circuit looks like this,
Vx
2Ω
3VX 2Ω
12v
Which can be simplified to look this way for calculation sake.
Vx
2Ω
3vx 12v 2Ω
By inspection, we can conclude that 12v passes across the 2ohm resistance. Then by KVL,
-12-VX+3VX=0
2VX=12
VX=12/2=6v.
