a) voltage
b) current
c) voltage or current
d) unknown
View Answer
Explanation: An independent voltage source with a resistance in series to it finds application in Thevenin’s theorem. On the other hand an independent current source with a resistance in parallel to it finds application in Norton’s theorem. Basically Thevenin’s theorem is the dual of Norton’s theorem.

5. Voltage-sourced converters do not require any other device with its main devices for reverse blocking capability.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Voltage-sourced converters DO require any other device with its main devices for reverse blocking capability. They employ a reverse diode in parallel with each main device. These special diodes come with lowest possible reverse leakage current.
6. Current-Sourced Converters do not need elements with reverse voltage withstand capability to connect with the asymmetric main device.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Current-Sourced Converters do need elements with reverse voltage withstand capability to connect with the asymmetric main device. Current-Sourced Converters need diode with reverse blocking voltage ability. These diodes are to be connected in series with the main device to obtain reverse voltage withstand functionality.
7. G-parameters can be used to model a voltage amplifier.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: G-parameters can be used to model a voltage amplifier. This two-port network representation denotes the output port as voltage controlled voltage source. This defines the main function of the voltage amplifier.
8. The G-parameter model of two-port network of a voltage amplifier characterizes no current controlled current source.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The G-parameter model of two-port network of a voltage amplifier does characterize current controlled current source. Actually the input port is characterized by a voltage input port with its Norton equivalent representation. This shows that the input side possesses a current controlled current source.
9. Norton theorem can be applied, when the given circuit contains ________
a) only independent sources
b) only dependent sources
c) either independent or dependent sources
d) either independent or dependent sources or both
View Answer
Explanation: Norton theorem can be applied, when the given circuit contains either independent or dependent sources or both. Norton theorem can also be applied to a circuit containing no sources. The later is done to find out only the equivalent Norton resistance.
10. The G-parameter model of two-port network of a voltage amplifier characterizes no voltage controlled voltage source.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The G-parameter model of two-port network of a voltage amplifier does characterize voltage controlled voltage source. Actually the output port is characterized by a voltage output port with its Thevenin equivalent representation. This clarifies that the output side possess a voltage controlled voltage source.
11. The two-port representation with H-parameter model of current amplifier is the inverse of________
a) G-parameter model of current amplifier
b) H-parameter model of voltage amplifier
c) H-parameter model of current amplifier
d) G-parameter model of voltage amplifier
View Answer
Explanation: The two-port representation with H-parameter model of current amplifier is the inverse of G-parameter model of voltage amplifier. The G-parameter modeling has a VCVS at the output port. The H-parameter modeling has a VCVS at the input port.
12. The two-port representation with H-parameter model of current amplifier exhibits ________
a) only VCVS
b) only CCCS
c) both CCCS and VCVS
d) both VCCS and CCVS
View Answer
Explanation: The two-port representation with H-parameter model of current amplifier exhibits both CCCS and VCVS. The input port of H-parameter modeling depicts a VCVS. The output port of H-parameter modeling depicts a CCCS.
13. The two-port representation with G-parameter model of voltage amplifier exhibits ________
a) only VCCS
b) only CCVS
c) both CCCS and VCVS
d) both VCCS and CCVS
View Answer
Explanation: The two-port representation with G-parameter model of voltage amplifier exhibits both CCCS and VCVS. From the mathematical calculation it follows that the there is neither VCCS nor CCVS in the model. The Thevenin equivalent output port houses a VCVS and the Norton equivalent input port houses a CCCS.
