    ˆ The exam is closed book and notes. You are allowed to have one A4 sheet with you
    with hand-written notes on both sides. Calculators can be used.

    ˆ For the sake of completeness, we require you to write the following statement on your
    first page of submission: I commit myself to uphold the highest standards of (academic)
    integrity.

    ˆ If you are ready, please proceed to the next page.

    Part 1: R, L, C Basics, Sources and I-V Characteristics

    Problem 1. (10 pts)

    (a) (5 pts) For a circuit given below, assume that the switch is initially open and is
    closed at t = 0 and the inductor is not carrying any current before the switch is
    closed. Label the voltages across resistor and inductor as vR (t) and vL (t) respec-
    tively and plot the waveforms of the voltages.

    Solutions:
    The combination of sources is equivalent to 10V voltage source. Plots given below:

    (b) (5 pts) For a circuit given below, assume that the switch is initially open and is
    closed at t = 0 and the inductor is not carrying any current before the switch is
    closed. Determine the voltage across the inductor and the total energy supplied
    to the inductor.

    (TotalEnergy) w(∞) = 1 J

    Problem 2. (5 pts) For the circuit given below, determine the equivalent resistance Req and
    the current io indicated in the circuit. Req is the equivalent resistance across terminals
    A and B.

    Solutions:
    Req is (80k20 + 12k6)k60k15 = (20)k12 = 7.5 Ω.
    The current io = 40/12.5 = 3.2A

    Problem 3. (3 pts) For the circuit given below, determine Vo , Io and I1 indicated in the
    circuit. Provide brief justification or working to support your answer.

    Io = 2A, Vo = 18V, I1 = 3A

    Problem 4. (2 pts) For the circuit given below, determine Vo . Provide brief justification or
    working for your answer.

    Solutions:
    Vo = −2 − 12 + 6 − 4 = −12V

    Problem 5. (5 pts) The figure below shows the dots marked for three windings L1 , L2 and
    L3 on a magnetic flux-conducting core. If the dots are marked using the dot convention,
    draw the windings on the core with directions consistent with the dots.

    Kirchhoff ’s Laws

    Problem 6. (2 pts)
    i) What do we mean by electrically equivalent circuits?

    Solutions:
    Same i − v characteristics.
    ii) Do you agree with the following statement (support your answer with the justifica-
    tion)?
    The two electrically equivalent circuits may not be be topologically equivalent but two
    ‘topologically equivalent’ circuits are electrically equivalent.
    Solutions:
    No! We cannot relate topological equivalence (related to graphical representation) and
    electrical equivalence (related to i − v characteristics).
