Q.2. Two circuits, the impedances of which are given by Z1=10+j15 Ω and Z2=6-j8 Ω
are connected in parallel. If the total current supplied is 15A. What is the power
taken in each branch? Find also the power factor of the individual circuit and
combination, Draw the phasor diagram. [7]

Q.3. Draw the response curves for current through inductor, iL(t) and voltage across
inductor, vL(t) for the series RL circuit shown in the figure2 where u(t) is a
mathematical function such that for t<0sec, u(t)=0 and for t.>=0sec, u(t) = 1. [7]

Q.4. Define voltage regulation of a single phase transformer. The primary and
secondary windings of a 40KVA 6600/250V single phase transformer have
resistances of 10 Ω and 0.02 Ω respectively. The single leakage reactance in the
primary circuit (Xe) is 35 Ω. Find voltage regulation at a power factor of load
equal to 0.8 lagging. [7]

Q.5. Find the Norton’s equivalent of the circuit to the left of the terminals a and b for
the circuit shown in figure3. Use this result to find i. [7]
