Question 19 CITY_GUILDS_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2019 • ENGINEERING • objective

In a DC circuit a 12 V ideal source is in series with a 4 Ω resistor \(R_{1}\). From the node after \(R_{1}\) a branch contains a 6 Ω resistor \(R_{2}\) in series with an ideal inductor (which behaves as a short circuit at steady state). A load resistor \(R_{L}\) is to be connected across the terminals of the branch containing \(R_{2}\). Determine the Thevenin equivalent voltage \(V_{\text{th}}\) and resistance \(R_{\text{th}}\) seen by \(R_{L}\). Then find the value of \(R_{L}\) that will draw maximum power and compute that maximum power (in watts, to one decimal place).

Answer Options

A. Vth = 8.0 V, Rth = 2.0 Ω, RL = 2.0 Ω, Pmax = 6.0 W
Correct Answer B. Vth = 7.2 V, Rth = 2.4 Ω, RL = 2.4 Ω, Pmax = 5.4 W
C. Vth = 7.2 V, Rth = 3.6 Ω, RL = 3.6 Ω, Pmax = 3.6 W
D. Vth = 6.5 V, Rth = 3.0 Ω, RL = 3.0 Ω, Pmax = 4.5 W
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Vth = 7.2 V, Rth = 2.4 Ω, RL = 2.4 Ω, Pmax = 5.4 W
