Problem 7 (5 Pts)

EECE 210-Quiz I-Solution 3/5


Find the Thevenin equivalent with respect to the terminals a, b for the circuit shown
below

R Th = (6 + 14) // 5 = (20 // 5) = 4Ω

- To determine VTh , convert the 1A current source and the 3A current source
to voltage sources. Add voltage sources (6 and 14), add the resistances (
6+14), and determine the total current in the 5Ω resistor. It is found to be:
(20+15)/(25)=1.4A.
- The voltage across the 5Ω resistor is: 7 Volts. Therefore, VTh = 7 − 15 = −8V

Problem 8 (6 pts)
Find the Thevenin equivalent with respect to the terminals a, b for the circuit shown
below

- R Th = (20 + 10) //(40 + 50) = (30 // 90) = 22.5Ω


- Using Current divider rule, the currents in the 10 Ω and 20 Ω resistors are 4A.
Using KVL, VTh = −(10 × 4) + (20 × 4) = 40volts

Problem 9 (6 pts)

EECE 210-Quiz I-Solution 4/5


Using source transformation, determine the power dissipated by the 5.8KΩ resistor in
the figure shown below.

- Convert the current source to a voltage source and use KVL, the current in the
5.8KΩ resistor is found to be:

43
I 5.8KΩ = = 2.72mA
3
15.8 × 10
- The power dissipated in the 5.8 KΩ is found to be:

P = RI 2 = (5.8 × 103 )(2.72 × 10 − 3 ) 2 = 42.9mW

Problem 10 (4 pts)
If any value whatsoever may be selected for RL in the circuit shown below, what is
the value of RL for maximum power transfer?

- For Maximum Power transfer, RL must be the same as RTh . RTh is found by
setting all sources to zero. It is found to be:
R L = R Th = (12 // 8) + 6 + 5 = 15.8Ω
