A7)

We know that (from delta to star conversion)

R1 =    …….

 

R2 = …..

 

R1 = ……

 

Multiply X L.H.S and R.H.S

 

R1 R2  = …….   where  

 

Similarly multiply  X

 

R2 R3  = …….

 

And   X

 

R1 R3  = …….

 

Now add equation , , and L.H.S and R.H.S

 

 

 

 

……refer eq.

 

= + +

 

=  +

(Delta)      star             star

Similarly R23 = R2+R3 +

 

R23 = R1+R2 +

 Q8) Why ideal Current source has infinite resistance?A8) A current source is used to power a load, so that load will turn on. We try to supply 100% of the power to load. For that, we connect some resistance to transfer 100% of power to load because the current always takes the path of least resistance. So, in order for current to go to the path of least resistance, we must connect resistance higher than load. This is why we have the ideal current source to have infinite internal resistance. This infinite resistance will not affect voltage sources in the circuit. Q9) State and explain Maximum Power Transfer Theorem.A9)

 Q10) Write a note on ideal and practical voltage source.A10)

Ideal Voltage Source

The graph represents the change in voltage of the voltage source with respect to time. It is constant at any instance of time.

Voltage sources that have some amount of internal resistance are known as a practical voltage source. Due to this internal resistance, voltage drop takes place. If the internal resistance is high, less voltage will be provided to load and if the internal resistance is less, the voltage source will be closer to an ideal voltage source. A practical voltage source is thus denoted by a resistance in series which represents the internal resistance of source.

The graph represents the voltage of the voltage source with respect to time. It is not constant but it keeps on decreasing as the time passes.
