1) Task 1: Kirchhoff's Laws [L02 - 2.

1]

Use Kirchoffs laws to determine the current flowing in all branches of the network shown
below.

Figure 1

In figure 1, what is the power dissipated in the 10 resistor?

Guidance:
You should first label your diagram to show the currents flowing, eg. I1, I2, I3.
Next you should show the three circuit loops you are going to use, then set up the equations for
each loop.
Finally, use mathematical procedures to solve the equations and determine the current flowing
in each part of the circuit.
You can then determine the power in 10 resistor.

Equation 1 = 20 - (1 * I1) - (2 * (I1 - I2)) + (2* (I2-I1)) - 12 = 0


(1 * I1) - (2 * (I1 - I2)) + (2* (I2-I1)) - 12 = 20V

Equation 2 = 12 +( 2 * (I2 - I1)) - (2 * I2) - (12 * (I2-I3)) = 0


( 2 * (I2 - I1)) - (2 * I2) - (12 * (I2-I3)) = 12V

Equation 3 = 12 * (I3 - I2) + 2 * I3 + 10 * I3 = 0


(I3-I2) + 2 * I3 + 10 * I3 = -12V
2) Task 2: Thvenins theorem [L02 - 2.1]

Figure 2

2.1) Find the values of Thvenins equivalent circuit for above circuit.

Thevenins Resistance (Rth)


1.Remove Rl (Load)
2.Cancel all Independent Voltage sources.
3.Compute Total resistance (Rth): Rth = 22K + (11K || 47K) = 22K + (11K*47K/11K + 47K) = 22K +
8.913K = 30.913K

Thevenins Voltage (Vth)


1.Remove Rl (Load)
2.Define Voc across open load terminals = (V1*R3)/(R1+R3) = (12*47K)/(11K+47K) = 9.724
3.Vth = Voc = 9.724
Isc = Vth/Rth = 9.724/30.913K = 314.56mA

2.2) If a load of 12 K is connected across terminals A and B, what will be the voltage across
the load and current drawn by the load?

3) Task 3: Superposition theorem [L02 - 2.1]


Figure 3

3.1) Use Superposition theorem in above figure 3 to determine the current flow and voltage
drop across R2.

1. Pick one source


2. Remove the rest - (Voltage - Short, Current - Open)
3. Determine individual response
4. Summate responses

4) Task 4: Maximum power transfer [L02 - 2.2]

Figure 4.1

4.1) In figure 4.1 above, determine the load resistor value across A and B that will draw
maximum power from the voltage source. What is the maximum power?

Max power occurs when Load Resistance (RL) = Source Resistance (RS) when viewed from its
output terminals (A-B)

RS = 100Ohm

1/((1/120) + (1/180)) = 72Ohm


100Ohm(RS) - 72Ohm = 28Ohm

RL = 28Ohm

Max Power = (V^2)/R = 40^2/100 = 16W

Figure 4.2

4.2) In figure 4.2 above, determine the load resistor value across A and B such as to draw
maximum power from the sources. What is the maximum power?
