The Thevenin equivalent resistance (Rth) is found by:
A Shorting all independent voltage sources and opening all current sources
B Opening all independent voltage sources and shorting all current sources
C Removing the load resistance and calculating equivalent resistance
D Both A and C are correct
Correct Answer:  D. Both A and C are correct
EXPLANATION

Rth is calculated by deactivating all independent sources (short voltage sources, open current sources) and finding equivalent resistance seen from load terminals.

Test
For a linear network, the superposition theorem applies when the network contains:
A Only resistive elements
B Only independent sources
C Both linear and non-linear elements
D Multiple independent sources and linear elements
Correct Answer:  D. Multiple independent sources and linear elements
EXPLANATION

Superposition theorem applies to linear networks with multiple independent sources. The response is the sum of individual source responses.

Test
In nodal analysis, the number of independent node equations required for a circuit with 'n' nodes and one reference node is:
A n-1
B n
C n+1
D 2n-1
Correct Answer:  A. n-1
EXPLANATION

In nodal analysis, we need (n-1) independent equations where n is total number of nodes. One node is chosen as reference (ground) node.

Test
In a circuit analysis problem, the voltage across a 5Ω resistor is measured as 25V. Using Ohm's law, what is the current through the resistor?
A 2A
B 5A
C 10A
D 20A
Correct Answer:  B. 5A
EXPLANATION

Using Ohm's law: I = V/R = 25/5 = 5A

Test
In a circuit with two parallel resistors R₁ = 6Ω and R₂ = 12Ω, what is the equivalent resistance?
A
B
C
D
Correct Answer:  B. 4Ω
EXPLANATION

Req = (R₁ × R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = (6 × 12)/(6 + 12) = 72/18 = 4Ω

Test
A 100Ω resistor is connected across a 50V DC source. What is the power dissipated?
A 25W
B 50W
C 75W
D 100W
Correct Answer:  A. 25W
EXPLANATION

Power P = V²/R = (50)²/100 = 2500/100 = 25W

Test
A capacitor with capacitance C = 50μF is charged to 200V. What is the energy stored in the capacitor?
A 0.5J
B 1J
C 2J
D 5J
Correct Answer:  B. 1J
EXPLANATION

Energy stored E = ½CV² = ½ × 50×10⁻⁶ × (200)² = ½ × 50×10⁻⁶ × 40000 = 1J

Test
In a three-phase balanced circuit with line voltage VL = 440V, what is the phase voltage (Vph) in star connection?
A 254V
B 440V
C 762V
D 220V
Correct Answer:  A. 254V
EXPLANATION

In star connection, Vph = VL/√3 = 440/1.732 ≈ 254V

Test
What is the Norton equivalent current (In) for a circuit where the short-circuit current between terminals A and B is 5A?
A 2.5A
B 5A
C 10A
D 7.5A
Correct Answer:  B. 5A
EXPLANATION

Norton equivalent current is equal to the short-circuit current measured between the terminals, which is 5A.

Test
Using superposition theorem for a circuit with two voltage sources V₁ = 10V and V₂ = 5V connected in series with a 10Ω resistor, what is the current when considering only V₁?
A 0.5A
B 1A
C 1.5A
D 2A
Correct Answer:  B. 1A
EXPLANATION

When considering only V₁ (V₂ is short-circuited), I₁ = V₁/R = 10/10 = 1A
