1. AC Power analysis
2. Thevenin/Norton*
3. Superposition*
4. Impedance/Admittance
5. Bode Plots

AC Power analysis
• AC question will contain more then 1 source
• AC average power of R, L, C components and voltage/current
sources
• Sources can be given in time domain or as phasors
• Note: be sure to express absorbing elements as positive and
supplying elements as negative. Answers should be -5 W supplied
or +2 W absorbed

Thevenin/Norton
• Given circuit derive norton or thevenin source.
• Maximum power transfer
• This problem may be AC or DC

Superposition
• Given circuit with multiple V or I sources determine some unknown
current or voltage by summing the contribution from each source.
• This problem may be AC or DC

Bode Plots
• Factor poles/zeros into standard form before plotting
• Draw the magnitude and phase Bode plots.
• Include both the straight line (asymptotic) approximate plots as
well as a sketch of the actual curve.
• Indicate the value of any slope(s). ie. +/-45deg/dec or +/-
20dB/dec
• For the magnitude plot, indicate the value of the difference
between the straight line approximation plot and the actual
curve at the corner frequency. ie. +/-3dB
• Show the final result graphically as the sum of the poles and zeros.
Just plotting (calculating) the final result without showing your work
is not awarded full marks.
• Be able to plot mag/phase for simple zeros, poles, zeros at the origin,
poles at the origin and constants. 4

Impedance/Admittance
• Calculate impedance and/or admittance of a network consisting of
R’s, L’s and C’s.
• Giver Z find L or C.
• Given L or C calculate Z,Y
• PA A2

Transient Analysis
• Circuits can contain 1 L or 1 C, multiple resistors and multiple
independent sources (voltage or current).
• Find Vc(t), IL(t), or arbitrary Vx(t), Ix(t) using the step by step
approach

Resonance (included in multiple choice)

• Series resonance
• Need to know formulas for Q, BW and fo

CuLearn
• You are responsible to verify all marks on culearn. Any discrepancy
must be reported as soon as possible.
• Culearn will go offline after the exam.
