EE 42 Assignments

Homework will be due before 5 pm on WEDNESDAYS.They can be turned in at the desk at the end of the 3-4 lecture on Wednesday or put into the locked box marked EE42 outside Room 275 in Cory Hall.Homework solutions will be posted in the glassed-in bulletin board in the Cory 2nd floor hallway just outside Room 275.

Additional problems for Assignment No. 2:On the linked web site “Simple Circuit Demos” go to NODE EQUATIONS OF RESISTOR CIRCUITS, DEMO 3 

Problem 2A.Using nodal analysis (the method is illustrated nicely there) find the nodal voltages V1 and V2 assuming that the resistor on the far right has the value 2 KW instead of 1 KW.(Note: the solution given may have a minor numerical error in it, but the method is correct.)

Problem 2B.Now assume that instead you short-circuit the 1 KW resistor on the far right (connect a wire across that resistor), leaving all the other resistor values and the voltage source unchanged.

a.Using nodal analysis find the current that flows from the positive terminal of the voltage source.

b.Check your answer by combining the resistors into a single equivalent resistance connected across the voltage source.(Give the value of that resistance.)

S&O Sec. 8.1
3.5; 3.11; 3.13; 8.5 (Notes: dc steady state means a long time after the battery was connected – what is VA then?This circuit has Rs, Cs and Ls together, whose response to transient excitation we won’t discuss in EE42); 8.21 (in addition to the questions asked, find an expression for the voltage VA for all times after t = 0 until the switch is reopened);

Problem 3A:work problem 8.10 with values R1 = 3000 W, R2 = 500 W, L = 10 mH, and the stated values for i(t).Also, what is i (t) as t approaches infinity?)
