tabulate them?
a. Name of the appliance
b. Type of appliance
c. Voltage (V)
d. Current (A)
e. Frequency (Hz)
f. Power (kW or kVA)
g. HP rating for motors
2. Based on the information collected in Q1, draw an approximate power consumption
vs time curve for your home.
a. Calculate the daily energy consumption from this plot and estimate the
monthly energy consumption.
b. Collect recent electricity bill and cross check with your calculation and give
your comments on the same. Don’t forget to upload the electricity bill along
with your response
3. Find the Norton’s equivalent circuit between terminals a and b for the circuit shown
below:
5. Find the relation between the output voltage (Vo) and input voltage (Vs) for the
circuit shown below:
6. Find the current (I) in the circuit shown below
7. Determine the voltage (VL) (in terms of Vi) for the network shown below
Find the load impedance (ZL) to transfer maximum power to the load. Also, find
maximum power transferred.
8. A 5-hp motor with a 0.6 lagging power factor and an efficiency of 92% is connected
to a 220-V, 50-Hz supply. (1HP=746 W, 5-hp is the mechanical output power of the
motor)
a. Establish the power triangle for the load.
b. Determine the power-factor capacitor that must be placed in parallel with
the load to raise the power factor to unity.
c. Determine the change in supply current from the uncompensated to the
compensated system.
9. Three bulbs are connected as shown in the figure. Compute the current drawn by
each bulb, current supplied by the battery. State your assumptions clearly, if any.
10. Write Mesh current equations by inspection for the following circuit
