Date Assigned: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 Date Due: Wednesday, September 2, 2009
Reading:
In the Nilsson/Riedel text,
please read Chapters 1 and 2 carefully and completely,
and do a quick read of Chapter 3.
(I will ask you to reread Chapter 3 carefully next week.)
Also, please review your materials from ELEC 120 that pertain to the
topics in Chapters 1-3 of the text.
Schedule change:
We will have a lecture meeting on Thursday, Aug. 27 from 10:00 - 10:52 AM
in Dana 305.
We will not have class on Monday, Aug. 31 (I will be out of town).
We will resume the regular schedule with class on Wednesday,
Sept. 2 and all students will attend lab on Thursday, Sept. 3.
Please solve the following problems, and submit solutions
in class on Wednesday, Sept. 2.
"Total power developed" means the total power
from all sources that are delivering power.
The "power check" means that the algebraic sum of powers in the
circuit must be zero.
That is, the power delivered by elements must equal the power
absorbed by elements.
For Problem 2.1, the current source should be labeled
"8 A" instead of "8 V".
As you read Chapters 1 and 2 and solve these problems, please make a note
of topics or example problems that you find confusing.
I would be happy to receive email from you before Wednesday so that I can
spend time in class answering your questions.
If there are topics that you did not study in ELEC 120, please let me know
and I'll go over them in class.
You can also ask questions in class next week
(and any time!).
