The network as shown, with IS1 = 5 A, IS2 = 10 A, VAB = 120 V, and with IS1 = 10 A, IS2 = 5 A, VAB = 15 V. What is the value of k to describe IS1 = k IS2, such that VAB = 0?
The network as shown, with IS1 = 5 A, IS2 = 10 A, VAB = 120 V, and with IS1 = 10 A, IS2 = 5 A, VAB = 15 V. What is the value of k to describe IS1 = k IS2, such that VAB = 0? Correct Answer 2.5
According to superposition theorem the value of VAB will be a function of IS1 and IS2.
Therefore, VAB = xIS1 + yIS2
For IS1 = 5 A, IS2 = 10 A, VAB = 120 V
120 = 5x + 10y ----(1)
For IS1 = 10 A, IS2 = 5 A, VAB = 15 V
15 = 10x + 5y ----(2)
Solving equations (1) & (2) we get x = -6 and y = 15
Thus, VAB = -6IS1 + 15IS2
Now for VAB = 0
-6IS1 + 15IS2 = 0
IS1 = 2.5 IS2
⇒ k = 2.5
