7. Calculate the current through 3Ω resistor in the circuit shown below.
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
View Answer
Explanation: Applying Nodal analysis the voltage V is given by (10-V)/2+(20-V)/5=V/3. V=8.7V. Now the current through 3Ω resistor in the circuit is I = V/3 = 8.7/3 = 2.9A ≅ 3A.
8. Find the current through 3Ω resistor in the circuit shown below using Millman’s Theorem.
a) 4
b) 3
c) 2
d) 1
View Answer
Explanation: V‘=((V1G1+V2G2))/(G1+G2)=(10(1/2)+20(1/5))/(1/2+1/5)=12.86V. R’=1/((G1+G2))=1/(1/2+1/5)=1.43Ω. Current through 3Ω resistor=I=12.86/(3+1.43)=2.9A≅3A.
9. Consider the circuit shown below. Find the current through 4Ω resistor.
a) 2
b) 1.5
c) 1
d) 0.5
View Answer
Explanation: Applying Nodal analysis the voltage V is given by (5-V)/1+(10-V)/3=V/4. V=6V. The current through 4Ω resistor I = V/4 = 6/4 = 1.5A.
10. In the following circuit. Find the current through 4Ω resistor using Millman’s Theorem.
a) 0.5
b) 1
