Problem 1
(a) Determine the voltage vo using at least two different methods from (1) the node-voltage
method, (2) the mesh-current method, or (3) the source transformation method.
(b) Find the power associated with the 120 V voltage source. Is it absorbing or delivering the
power?
(c) Find the power associated with the 12 A current source. Is it absorbing or delivering the
power?
(d) Verify that the total power developed equals the total power dissipated.
(e) Now a 10-Ω resistor is connected in series with the 12 A current source. What is vo?
(f) What effect will any finite resistance connected in series with the 12 A current source
have on the value of vo?

Problem 2
(a) For the circuit shown below, use a phase diagram to find the value of R that will cause the
current through that resistor, IR, to lag the source current, IS, by 45 degrees in phase. The
source driving frequency is 5000 rad/s.
(b) The device shown below is represented in the frequency domain by a Norton equivalent.
When a resistor having an impedance of 5 kΩ is connected across the device, the value of the
VO is (5 – j15) V. When a capacitor having an impedance of –j3 kΩ is connected across the
device, the value of IO is (4.5 – j6) mA. Find the Norton current In and the Norton impedance
Zn.
