Circuit Theory – In-depth Notes (First Year B.Tech EEE)

1. Basic Laws

Ohm’s Law

V=IRV = IRV=IR

• Linear relation between Voltage (V), Current (I), and Resistance (R).

• Valid for metallic conductors at constant temperature.

Kirchhoff’s Laws

• Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL):

At any node, the algebraic sum of currents = 0.
∑Iin=∑Iout\sum I_{in} = \sum I_{out}∑Iin=∑Iout

• Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL):

In a closed loop, the algebraic sum of voltages = 0.

∑V=0\sum V = 0∑V=0

Example (KVL + KCL):

For a series circuit with 12 V supply, R1=4Ω,R2=2ΩR_1 = 4\Omega, R_2 = 2\OmegaR1=4Ω,R2=2Ω.

• Total resistance = 6 Ω6 \, \Omega6Ω.

• Current = 12/6=2 A12/6 = 2 \, A12/6=2A.

• Voltage across R1=2×4=8VR_1 = 2 \times 4 = 8 VR1=2×4=8V.

• Voltage across R2=2×2=4VR_2 = 2 \times 2 = 4 VR2=2×2=4V.

(KVL check: 12=8+412 = 8+412=8+4).

2. Important Theorems in Circuit Theory

(i) Superposition Theorem

• Statement: In a linear circuit with multiple sources, the current/voltage in any branch is the
sum of currents/voltages produced by each source acting alone, with other sources replaced
by their internal impedances.

o Replace voltage source → short circuit

o Replace current source → open circuit

Example:
If a circuit has 10 V and 20 V sources with resistors, find current contribution due to each source
separately, then add algebraically.

(ii) Thevenin’s Theorem

• Statement: Any linear two-terminal network can be replaced by a single voltage source
(Vth) in series with a resistance (Rth).

• Steps:

1. Remove the load resistance RLR_LRL.

2. Find open-circuit voltage across load terminals = VthV_{th}Vth.

3. Find equivalent resistance seen from load side = RthR_{th}Rth.

4. Thevenin equivalent = VthV_{th}Vth in series with RthR_{th}Rth.

 5. Reconnect RLR_LRL to find current:

I=VthRth+RLI = \frac{V_{th}}{R_{th}+R_L}I=Rth+RLVth

(iii) Norton’s Theorem

• Statement: Any linear two-terminal network can be replaced by a current source (In) in
parallel with a resistance (Rn).

• Relation with Thevenin:

IN=VthRth,RN=RthI_N = \frac{V_{th}}{R_{th}}, \quad R_N = R_{th}IN=RthVth,RN=Rth

(iv) Maximum Power Transfer Theorem

• Statement: Maximum power is delivered to the load when

RL=RthR_L = R_{th}RL=Rth

• Maximum power:

Pmax=Vth24RthP_{max} = \frac{V_{th}^2}{4R_{th}}Pmax=4RthVth2

(v) Reciprocity Theorem

• Statement: In a linear, bilateral network, if a voltage source produces current at another

branch, then the source and response positions can be interchanged and the current remains
the same.

(vi) Millman’s Theorem

• Statement: A number of voltage sources in parallel with series resistances can be replaced
by a single equivalent voltage source.

Veq=∑ViRi∑1Ri,Req=1∑1RiV_{eq} = \frac{\sum \frac{V_i}{R_i}}{\sum \frac{1}{R_i}}, \quad R_{eq} =

\frac{1}{\sum \frac{1}{R_i}}Veq=∑Ri1∑RiVi,Req=∑Ri11

(vii) Compensation Theorem

• Statement: If resistance RRR in a branch is changed by ΔR\Delta RΔR, the resulting changes
in currents can be obtained by inserting a voltage source of ΔR×I\Delta R \times IΔR×I in
place of the changed resistance (with direction opposing original current).

(viii) Substitution Theorem

• Statement: If a branch is carrying a current III and has a voltage VVV, it can be replaced by
any other element (or combination) that maintains the same VVV and III.
3. Worked Examples

Example 1 (Thevenin’s Theorem):

A 12 V battery is connected across a series of R1=4ΩR_1 = 4ΩR1=4Ω and R2=2ΩR_2 = 2ΩR2=2Ω. Find
Thevenin equivalent across R2R_2R2.

• Open-circuit voltage across R2R_2R2:

Vth=(2/(4+2))×12=4VV_{th} = (2/(4+2)) \times 12 = 4 VVth=(2/(4+2))×12=4V.

• Equivalent resistance:
Rth=R1=4ΩR_{th} = R_1 = 4ΩRth=R1=4Ω.

• Thevenin circuit: 4 V source + 4Ω in series.

If RL=2ΩR_L = 2ΩRL=2Ω,

I=44+2=0.667AI = \frac{4}{4+2} = 0.667 AI=4+24=0.667A

Example 2 (Superposition):
A circuit has two sources: 10 V and 5 V, each with 10Ω resistors in series. Find current in a branch
using superposition.
(Solution involves calculating contribution of each source separately).

full step-by-step solutions. Here are 15 problems (varying difficulty) with worked solutions and units.
Electromagnetism — Numerical Problem Set (15 solved problems)

Problem 1 — Coulomb / Electric Field (Gauss prep)

Two point charges q1=+3.0 μCq_1 = +3.0\ \mu\text{C}q1=+3.0 μC and q2=−2.0 μCq_2 = -2.0\
\mu\text{C}q2=−2.0 μC are 0.25 m apart in free space. Find the magnitude and direction of the force
on q2q_2q2.

Solution
Coulomb constant k=14πϵ0=9.0×109 N\cdotpm2/C2k = \dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9.0\times10^9\
\text{N·m}^2/\text{C}^2k=4πϵ01=9.0×109 N\cdotpm2/C2.
Convert charges: q1=3.0×10−6 Cq_1 = 3.0\times10^{-6}\ \text{C}q1=3.0×10−6 C, q2=−2.0×10−6 Cq_2
= -2.0\times10^{-6}\ \text{C}q2=−2.0×10−6 C.
Distance r=0.25 mr = 0.25\ \text{m}r=0.25 m.

Force magnitude:

F=k∣q1q2∣r2=9.0×109⋅(3.0×10−6)(2.0×10−6)(0.25)2.F = k\frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2} = 9.0\times10^9 \cdot

\frac{(3.0\times10^{-6})(2.0\times10^{-6})}{(0.25)^2}.F=kr2∣q1q2∣
=9.0×109⋅(0.25)2(3.0×10−6)(2.0×10−6).

Compute numerator: (3.0×10−6)(2.0×10−6)=6.0×10−12(3.0\times10^{-6})(2.0\times10^{-6}) =

6.0\times10^{-12}(3.0×10−6)(2.0×10−6)=6.0×10−12.
Denominator: 0.252=0.06250.25^2 = 0.06250.252=0.0625.

So

F=9.0×109⋅6.0×10−120.0625=9.0×109⋅(9.6×10−11)F = 9.0\times10^9 \cdot \frac{6.0\times10^{-

12}}{0.0625} = 9.0\times10^9 \cdot (9.6\times10^{-11})F=9.0×109⋅0.06256.0×10−12
=9.0×109⋅(9.6×10−11)

(because 6.0×10−12/0.0625=6.0×10−12×16=96.0×10−12=9.6×10−116.0\times10^{-12}/0.0625 =
6.0\times10^{-12} \times 16 = 96.0\times10^{-12} = 9.6\times10^{-
11}6.0×10−12/0.0625=6.0×10−12×16=96.0×10−12=9.6×10−11).

Now multiply: 9.0×109×9.6×10−11=86.4×10−2=0.864 N.9.0\times10^9 \times 9.6\times10^{-11} =

86.4\times10^{-2} = 0.864\ \text{N}.9.0×109×9.6×10−11=86.4×10−2=0.864 N.

Direction: charges are opposite, so attractive — q2q_2q2 (negative) is pulled toward q1q_1q1.

Answer: F=0.864 NF = 0.864\ \text{N}F=0.864 N toward q1q_1q1.

Problem 2 — Gauss’s Law (E-field of a charged sphere)

A total charge Q=5.0 μCQ = 5.0\ \mu\text{C}Q=5.0 μC is uniformly distributed on a thin spherical
shell of radius R=0.20 mR = 0.20\ \text{m}R=0.20 m. Find the electric field at (a) r=0.10 mr = 0.10\
\text{m}r=0.10 m (inside), (b) r=0.30 mr = 0.30\ \text{m}r=0.30 m (outside).

Solution
Gauss’s law: outside the shell (r > R) field is as if point charge at center; inside (r < R) field is zero for
shell.
Convert charge: Q=5.0×10−6 CQ = 5.0\times10^{-6}\ \text{C}Q=5.0×10−6 C. k=9.0×109k =
9.0\times10^9k=9.0×109.

(a) r=0.10<Rr = 0.10 < Rr=0.10<R → E=0E = 0E=0.

(b) r=0.30 mr = 0.30\ \text{m}r=0.30 m:

E=kQr2=9.0×109⋅5.0×10−6(0.30)2.E = k\frac{Q}{r^2} = 9.0\times10^9 \cdot \frac{5.0\times10^{-

6}}{(0.30)^2}.E=kr2Q=9.0×109⋅(0.30)25.0×10−6.

Denominator: 0.302=0.090.30^2 = 0.090.302=0.09.

E=9.0×109⋅5.0×10−60.09=9.0×109⋅(55.555…×10−6)E = 9.0\times10^9 \cdot \frac{5.0\times10^{-

6}}{0.09} = 9.0\times10^9 \cdot (55.555\ldots \times10^{-6})E=9.0×109⋅0.095.0×10−6
=9.0×109⋅(55.555…×10−6)

because 5.0×10−6/0.09=55.555…×10−6=5.5555…×10−55.0\times10^{-6}/0.09 =
55.555\ldots\times10^{-6} = 5.5555\ldots\times10^{-
5}5.0×10−6/0.09=55.555…×10−6=5.5555…×10−5.

Compute: 9.0×109×5.5556×10−5=5.0×105 V/m.9.0\times10^9 \times 5.5556\times10^{-5} =

5.0\times10^5\ \text{V/m}.9.0×109×5.5556×10−5=5.0×105 V/m.

(Checking: (9\times10^9 * 5e-6 / 0.09 = (45e3)/0.09? Simpler: 9e9*5e-6 = 45e3 = 45,000; divide by
0.09 gives 500,000 V/m. Same.)

Answer: (a) E=0E=0E=0. (b) E=5.0×105 V/mE = 5.0\times10^5\ \text{V/m}E=5.0×105 V/m, radially
outward.

Problem 3 — Biot–Savart / Magnetic field by a long straight wire

Find magnetic field magnitude at a distance r=0.05 mr = 0.05\ \text{m}r=0.05 m from a long straight
wire carrying I=10 AI = 10\ \text{A}I=10 A.

Solution
For an infinite straight wire:

B=μ0I2πr,μ0=4π×10−7 H/m.B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r},\quad \mu_0 = 4\pi\times10^{-7}\

\text{H/m}.B=2πrμ0I,μ0=4π×10−7 H/m.

So

B=4π×10−7×102π×0.05=4π×10−62π×0.05=4×10−62×0.05=4×10−60.10=4.0×10−5 T.B =
\frac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times10}{2\pi\times0.05} = \frac{4\pi\times10^{-6}}{2\pi\times0.05} =
\frac{4\times10^{-6}}{2\times0.05} = \frac{4\times10^{-6}}{0.10} = 4.0\times10^{-5}\
\text{T}.B=2π×0.054π×10−7×10=2π×0.054π×10−6=2×0.054×10−6=0.104×10−6=4.0×10−5 T.

Answer: B=4.0×10−5 TB = 4.0\times10^{-5}\ \text{T}B=4.0×10−5 T (azimuthal direction by right-hand

Solution
For ideal solenoid:

B=μ0nI,n=turns per meter.B = \mu_0 n I,\quad n = \text{turns per meter}.B=μ0nI,n=turns per meter.
B=4π×10−7×800×2.0.B = 4\pi\times10^{-7} \times 800 \times 2.0.B=4π×10−7×800×2.0.

(4\pi\times1600)\times10^{-7}4π×10−7×1600=(4π×1600)×10−7.

First 4×1600=64004\times1600 = 64004×1600=6400. So 6400π×10−7=6400×3.1416×10−76400\pi

\times10^{-7} = 6400\times3.1416\times10^{-7}6400π×10−7=6400×3.1416×10−7.

6400×3.1416=20106.246400\times3.1416 = 20106.246400×3.1416=20106.24. Multiply by 10−710^{-

If base power Sbase=100S_{base}=100Sbase=100 MVA and base voltage

Vbase=220V_{base}=220Vbase=220 kV, find ZbaseZ_{base}Zbase.
Zbase=Vbase2/Sbase=(220×103)2/(100×106)=48400 Ω/100=0.484 ΩZ_{base} = V_{base}^2 /
S_{base} = (220\times10^3)^2 / (100\times10^6) = 48400\ \Omega / 100 = 0.484\ \OmegaZbase
=Vbase2/Sbase=(220×103)2/(100×106)=48400 Ω/100=0.484 Ω.
(check units: (220,000)2=48.4×109(220,000)^2 = 48.4×10^9(220,000)2=48.4×109 divided by
100×106=100×106100×10^6 = 100×10^6100×106=100×106 → 484Ω? Wait recompute properly in
exam — use calculators carefully.)

(In exam use calculator — the method matters:

Zbase=(220×103)2/(100×106)=48.4×109/100×106=484ΩZ_{base} = (220\times10^3)^2 /
(100\times10^6) = 48.4×10^{9}/100×10^6 = 484ΩZbase
=(220×103)2/(100×106)=48.4×109/100×106=484Ω. Sorry — watch powers of ten.)

Nice — here are 18 important, exam-style problems for Signals & Systems with full, step-by-step
solutions. I focused on the topics companies and PSU exams often ask: convolution, transforms
(FT/Laplace/Z), ROC, sampling, stability, system response, energy/power, autocorrelation, DFT/FFT
basics, aliasing, and simple difference/differential equations.

Problem 1 — Energy of a signal

Problem: Compute the energy of x(t)=e−tu(t)x(t)=e^{-t}u(t)x(t)=e−tu(t).

Solution:
Energy E=∫−∞∞∣x(t)∣2dt=∫0∞e−2tdtE=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}|x(t)|^2 dt=\int_0^\infty e^{-
2t}dtE=∫−∞∞∣x(t)∣2dt=∫0∞e−2tdt.

E=[−12e−2t]0∞=12(1−0)=0.5.E=\left[-\tfrac{1}{2}e^{-2t}\right]_0^\infty = \tfrac{1}{2}(1-
0)=\boxed{0.5}.E=[−21e−2t]0∞=21(1−0)=0.5.

Problem 2 — Convolution (continuous)

Problem: Find y(t)=x(t)∗h(t)y(t)=x(t)*h(t)y(t)=x(t)∗h(t) where x(t)=u(t)x(t)=u(t)x(t)=u(t) and

h(t)=e−tu(t)h(t)=e^{-t}u(t)h(t)=e−tu(t).
Solution:
Convolution: y(t)=∫−∞∞x(τ)h(t−τ)dτ=∫0t1⋅e−(t−τ)dτy(t)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x(\tau)h(t-\tau)d\tau =
\int_0^t 1\cdot e^{-(t-\tau)} d\tauy(t)=∫−∞∞x(τ)h(t−τ)dτ=∫0t1⋅e−(t−τ)dτ (since x(τ)=1x(\tau)=1x(τ)=1
for τ≥0\tau\ge0τ≥0 and h(t−τ)h(t-\tau)h(t−τ) nonzero when t−τ≥0⇒τ≤tt-\tau\ge0\Rightarrow \tau\le
tt−τ≥0⇒τ≤t).

y(t)=e−t∫0teτdτ=e−t[eτ]0t=e−t(et−1)=1−e−t, t≥0.y(t)=e^{-t}\int_0^t e^{\tau} d\tau = e^{-

t}[e^{\tau}]_0^t = e^{-t}(e^t -1)=1-e^{-t},\; t\ge0.y(t)=e−t∫0teτdτ=e−t[eτ]0t=e−t(et−1)=1−e−t,t≥0.

So y(t)=(1−e−t)u(t)\boxed{y(t)=(1-e^{-t})u(t)}y(t)=(1−e−t)u(t).

Problem 3 — Convolution (discrete)

Problem: x[n]={1,2,0}x[n]=\{1,2,0\}x[n]={1,2,0} for n=0,1,2n=0,1,2n=0,1,2;

h[n]={1,1}h[n]=\{1,1\}h[n]={1,1} for n=0,1n=0,1n=0,1. Compute
y[n]=x[n]∗h[n]y[n]=x[n]*h[n]y[n]=x[n]∗h[n].
Solution: Lengths 3 and 2 → output length 4 (n=0..3). Convolution:

• y[0]=1⋅1=1y[0]=1\cdot1=1y[0]=1⋅1=1

• y[1]=1⋅1+2⋅1=3y[1]=1\cdot1 + 2\cdot1 = 3y[1]=1⋅1+2⋅1=3

• y[2]=2⋅1+0⋅1=2y[2]=2\cdot1 + 0\cdot1 = 2y[2]=2⋅1+0⋅1=2

• y[3]=0⋅1=0y[3]=0\cdot1 = 0y[3]=0⋅1=0
So y[n]={1,3,2,0}\boxed{y[n]=\{1,3,2,0\}}y[n]={1,3,2,0}.
Problem 4 — Fourier transform pair (shift)

Problem: Find X(ω)X(\omega)X(ω) for x(t)=δ(t−2)x(t)=\delta(t-2)x(t)=δ(t−2).

Solution: FT of δ(t−t0)\delta(t-t_0)δ(t−t0) is e−jωt0e^{-j\omega t_0}e−jωt0. Thus
X(ω)=e−j2ω\boxed{X(\omega)=e^{-j2\omega}}X(ω)=e−j2ω.

Problem 5 — Laplace transform & ROC

Problem: Find X(s)X(s)X(s) and ROC for x(t)=e−2tu(t)x(t)=e^{-2t}u(t)x(t)=e−2tu(t).

Solution:
Laplace transform X(s)=∫0∞e−2te−stdt=∫0∞e−(s+2)tdt=1s+2X(s)=\int_0^\infty e^{-2t}e^{-st} dt =
\int_0^\infty e^{-(s+2)t}dt = \frac{1}{s+2}X(s)=∫0∞e−2te−stdt=∫0∞e−(s+2)tdt=s+21, convergent if
ℜ(s+2)>0⇒ℜ(s)>−2\Re(s+2)>0\Rightarrow \Re(s)>-2ℜ(s+2)>0⇒ℜ(s)>−2.
X(s)=1s+2, ROC: ℜ(s)>−2.\boxed{X(s)=\dfrac{1}{s+2},\;\text{ROC: }\Re(s)>-2.}X(s)=s+21,ROC: ℜ(s)>−2.

Problem 6 — Z-transform & ROC (causal)

Problem: Find X(z)X(z)X(z) and ROC for x[n]=(0.5)nu[n]x[n]=(0.5)^n u[n]x[n]=(0.5)nu[n].

Solution:
Z-transform X(z)=∑n=0∞(0.5)nz−n=11−0.5z−1=zz−0.5X(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (0.5)^n z^{-
n}=\dfrac{1}{1-0.5z^{-1}}=\dfrac{z}{z-0.5}X(z)=∑n=0∞(0.5)nz−n=1−0.5z−11=z−0.5z. ROC for causal
geometric: ∣z∣>0.5|z|>0.5∣z∣>0.5.
X(z)=zz−0.5, ROC: ∣z∣>0.5.\boxed{X(z)=\dfrac{z}{z-0.5},\; \text{ROC: }|z|>0.5.}X(z)=z−0.5z
,ROC: ∣z∣>0.5.

Problem 7 — DTFT of finite sequence

Problem: Compute DTFT of x[n]=δ[n]+δ[n−1]x[n]=\delta[n]+ \delta[n-1]x[n]=δ[n]+δ[n−1].

Solution: DTFT X(ejω)=∑nx[n]e−jωn=1+e−jωX(e^{j\omega})=\sum_n x[n]e^{-j\omega n}=1 + e^{-
j\omega}X(ejω)=∑nx[n]e−jωn=1+e−jω.
X(ejω)=1+e−jω.\boxed{X(e^{j\omega})=1+e^{-j\omega}.}X(ejω)=1+e−jω.

Problem 8 — Sampling & aliasing

Problem: A continuous signal has highest frequency fmax=3 kHzf_{max}=3\ \text{kHz}fmax=3 kHz.
What is minimum sampling frequency to avoid aliasing? If sampled at fs=4 kHzf_s=4\ \text{kHz}fs
=4 kHz, does aliasing occur?
Solution: Nyquist: fs≥2fmax=6 kHzf_s \ge 2f_{max}=6\ \text{kHz}fs≥2fmax=6 kHz. So minimum is 666
kHz. Sampling at 444 kHz (<6 kHz) will cause aliasing.
fs(min)=6 kHz; fs=4 kHz causes aliasing.\boxed{f_{s(min)}=6\text{ kHz};\; f_s=4\text{ kHz causes
aliasing.}}fs(min)=6 kHz;fs=4 kHz causes aliasing.

Problem 9 — Reconstruction (sinc) idea (qualitative)

Problem: Explain briefly how ideal reconstruction uses sinc interpolation.
Solution (short): Sampled sequence x[n]=x(nT)x[n]=x(nT)x[n]=x(nT) gives impulses in spectrum
periodically. Multiply spectrum by ideal low-pass filter (cutoff =π/T=\pi/T=π/T) to remove images; in
time domain this corresponds to convolution with sinc =sin⁡(πt/T)πt/T=\frac{\sin(\pi t/T)}{\pi
t/T}=πt/Tsin(πt/T) — interpolation recovers original bandlimited signal.

Problem 10 — Solve LTI ODE via impulse response

Problem: System: y′(t)+2y(t)=x(t)y'(t)+2y(t)=x(t)y′(t)+2y(t)=x(t). Find impulse response h(t)h(t)h(t).

Solution: For x(t)=δ(t)x(t)=\delta(t)x(t)=δ(t), solve h′(t)+2h(t)=δ(t)h'(t)+2h(t)=\delta(t)h′(t)+2h(t)=δ(t),
causal h(t)=0h(t)=0h(t)=0 for t<0t<0t<0. For t>0t>0t>0 homogeneous:
h′(t)+2h(t)=0h'(t)+2h(t)=0h′(t)+2h(t)=0 → h(t)=Ke−2th(t)=Ke^{-2t}h(t)=Ke−2t. Integrate across
t=0t=0t=0: ∫0−0+(h′+2h)dt=∫0−0+δ(t)dt=1\int_{0^-}^{0^+}(h'+2h)dt=\int_{0^-}^{0^+}\delta(t)dt
=1∫0−0+(h′+2h)dt=∫0−0+δ(t)dt=1. Left side → h(0+)−h(0−)+2∫0−0+hdth(0^+)-h(0^-)+2\int_{0^-
}^{0^+}h dth(0+)−h(0−)+2∫0−0+hdt. Since h(0−)=0h(0^-)=0h(0−)=0 and impulse duration→0, second
integral ≈0 ⇒ h(0+)=1h(0^+)=1h(0+)=1. Thus K=1K=1K=1. So h(t)=e−2tu(t)\boxed{h(t)=e^{-
2t}u(t)}h(t)=e−2tu(t).

Problem 11 — BIBO stability check (pole)

Problem: Is system with transfer H(s)=1/(s+3)H(s)=1/(s+3)H(s)=1/(s+3) BIBO stable?

Solution: Pole at s=−3s=-3s=−3 (LHP). For causal LTI, ROC ℜ(s)>−3\Re(s)>-3ℜ(s)>−3 includes
jωj\omegajω axis → stable. Alternatively impulse response h(t)=e−3tu(t)h(t)=e^{-3t}u(t)h(t)=e−3tu(t)
absolutely integrable → stable. Yes (BIBO stable).\boxed{\text{Yes (BIBO stable).}}Yes (BIBO stable).

Problem 12 — Frequency response magnitude at ω=0

Problem: H(jω)=1jω+1H(j\omega)=\dfrac{1}{j\omega+1}H(jω)=jω+11. Find ∣H(j0)∣|H(j0)|∣H(j0)∣.

Solution: Plug ω=0\omega=0ω=0: H(j0)=1/1=1H(j0)=1/1=1H(j0)=1/1=1. Magnitude = 1.
∣H(j0)∣=1\boxed{|H(j0)|=1}∣H(j0)∣=1.

Problem 13 — Parseval (energy) check (simple)

Problem: For x(t)=cos⁡(ω0t)x(t)=\cos(\omega_0 t)x(t)=cos(ω0t), show average power

P=12P=\tfrac{1}{2}P=21.
Solution: Time-average power
P=lim⁡T→∞12T∫−TTcos⁡2(ω0t)dt=12P=\lim_{T\to\infty}\tfrac{1}{2T}\int_{-T}^{T}\cos^2(\omega_0
t)dt = \tfrac{1}{2}P=limT→∞2T1∫−TTcos2(ω0t)dt=21 (since average of cos⁡2\cos^2cos2 is 1/2).
P=0.5\boxed{P=0.5}P=0.5.

Problem 14 — Linear convolution via DFT practical note

Problem: You want linear convolution of two length-N=8 sequences using DFT. What minimum DFT
length NDFTN_{DFT}NDFT should you use?
Solution: Linear convolution length = L=M+N−1L=M+N-1L=M+N−1. For two length-8 sequences →
15. Choose NDFT≥15N_{DFT}\ge15NDFT≥15; nearest power of two: 16.
NDFT=16\boxed{N_{DFT}=16}NDFT=16.

Problem 15 — Difference equation solve (discrete LTI)

Problem: Solve y[n]−0.5y[n−1]=x[n]y[n]-0.5y[n-1]=x[n]y[n]−0.5y[n−1]=x[n] for input

x[n]=δ[n]x[n]=\delta[n]x[n]=δ[n] (find impulse response).
Solution: For causal h[n], homogeneous solution hh[n]=C(0.5)nh_h[n]=C(0.5)^nhh[n]=C(0.5)n.
Impose initial condition using difference across n=0: for n=0: h[0]−0.5h[−1]=1h[0]-0.5h[-
1]=1h[0]−0.5h[−1]=1. Since causal h[−1]=0h[-1]=0h[−1]=0, so h[0]=1h[0]=1h[0]=1. For n≥1n\ge1n≥1,
recurrence h[n]=0.5h[n−1]h[n]=0.5 h[n-1]h[n]=0.5h[n−1]. Thus h[n]=(0.5)nh[n]=(0.5)^nh[n]=(0.5)n
for n≥0n\ge0n≥0. h[n]=(0.5)nu[n]\boxed{h[n]=(0.5)^n u[n]}h[n]=(0.5)nu[n].

Problem 16 — Z-transform ROC & causality check

Problem: X(z)=11−2z−1X(z)=\dfrac{1}{1-2z^{-1}}X(z)=1−2z−11. If ROC is ∣z∣>2|z|>2∣z∣>2, is x[n] causal

or anti-causal? What is x[n]?
Solution: Pole at z=2z=2z=2. ROC ∣z∣>2|z|>2∣z∣>2 is outside the pole → corresponds to a right-sided
(causal) sequence. Expand: X(z)=∑n=0∞2nz−nX(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty 2^n z^{-n}X(z)=∑n=0∞2nz−n →
x[n]=2nu[n]x[n]=2^n u[n]x[n]=2nu[n]. x[n]=2nu[n], causal.\boxed{x[n]=2^n u[n],\;
\text{causal}.}x[n]=2nu[n],causal.

Problem 17 — Sampling numeric (reconstruction)

Problem: Continuous signal x(t)=cos⁡(2π⋅1 kHz t)x(t)=\cos(2\pi\cdot 1\text{ kHz

}t)x(t)=cos(2π⋅1 kHz t). Sample at fs=2.5f_s=2.5fs=2.5 kHz. Will aliasing occur? If yes, find aliased
frequency.
Solution: Nyquist limit =2fmax=2⋅1=2=2f_{max}=2\cdot1=2=2fmax=2⋅1=2 kHz. Since fs=2.5f_s=2.5fs
=2.5 kHz > 2 kHz → no aliasing. But to be thorough, if fsf_sfs were <2 kHz aliasing occurs. Here
No aliasing (fs=2.5 kHz>2 kHz).\boxed{\text{No aliasing (}f_s=2.5\text{ kHz}>2\text{
kHz}).}No aliasing (fs=2.5 kHz>2 kHz).

Problem 18 — Autocorrelation of rectangular pulse

Problem: x(t)=u(t+T)−u(t−T)x(t)=u(t+T)-u(t-T)x(t)=u(t+T)−u(t−T) (rectangular pulse of width 2T2T2T).

Find autocorrelation Rx(τ)=∫x(t)x(t+τ)dtR_x(\tau)=\int x(t)x(t+\tau)dtRx(τ)=∫x(t)x(t+τ)dt. (Give result
shape.)
Solution (sketch): Autocorrelation is triangular of base width 4T4T4T and peak
Rx(0)=∫x2(t)dt=∫−TT1 dt=2TR_x(0)=\int x^2(t)dt = \int_{-T}^{T}1\,dt=2TRx(0)=∫x2(t)dt=∫−TT1dt=2T.
Explicitly:

Rx(τ)={2T−∣τ∣,∣τ∣≤2T0,∣τ∣>2TR_x(\tau)=\begin{cases} 2T-|\tau|, & |\tau|\le 2T\\ 0, & |\tau|>2T

\end{cases}Rx(τ)={2T−∣τ∣,0,∣τ∣≤2T∣τ∣>2T
So Rx(τ)=2T−∣τ∣ for ∣τ∣≤2T, triangular\boxed{R_x(\tau)=2T-|\tau|\text{ for }|\tau|\le2T,\text{
triangular}}Rx(τ)=2T−∣τ∣ for ∣τ∣≤2T, triangular.

Quick tips — use these in interviews/exams

• For convolution, always determine limits from support of signals (causal → start at 0).

• For Laplace/Z ROC, locate poles and decide if ROC includes infinity (right-sided) or zero (left-
sided).

• Sampling: always check fs≥2fmaxf_s \ge 2f_{max}fs≥2fmax and, if not, compute aliased
frequency via folding: fa=∣f−kfs∣f_a = |f - k f_s|fa=∣f−kfs∣ choose k to bring into [0,fs/2][0,
f_s/2][0,fs/2].

• For difference/differential equations, impulse response found by solving homogeneous

solution and using initial condition enforced by impulse.

P2. In Wheatstone bridge, arms AB=100 Ω, BC=200 Ω, CD=150 Ω, DA=unknown, balanced at null.
Find DA.

P3. A 0.1 Ω shunt is connected across 100 Ω galvanometer. If Ig=1 mA, find current range extension.

• I = Ig(1+Rg/Rs) ≈ 1 mA(1+100/0.1)=1 A.

P4. A 230 V energy meter makes 1380 revolutions per kWh. If it makes 23 rev in 1 min at 230 V, 5 A
load, find % error.
