Answer: This theorem states that any linear bilateral network with active network with output terminals AB can be replaced by a single current source in parallel with a single impedance Z.

Question No. 04: What is the efficiency during maximum power transfer?
Answer: Efficiency during maximum power transfer 50%.

Question No. 05: Define filter?
Answer: A filter is an electrical network that can transmit signals within a specified frequency range.

Question No. 06: Define active filter?
Answer: The active filter contains components like operational amplifier that introduce some gain in the signal.

Question No. 07: How a band pass filter is constructed?
Answer: This filter is a combination of two parallel tuned circuits. This is a special type of LC filter along with a particular BW frequency to be allowed through it.

Question No. 08: What is resistance?
Answer: The resistance is the property of a material to oppose the flow of current in a material. Its unit is ohm.

Answer: Kirchoff’s voltage law states that the algebraic sum of all branch voltages around any closed loop of a network is zero at all instant of time.

Question No. 12: What is the limitation of Kirchoff’s law?
Answer: It fails in distributed parameter network.

Question No. 13: Sate Maximum power transfer theorem?
Answer: A resistance load being connected to a dc network receives maximum power when load resistance is equal to internal resistance.

Question No. 14: Define characteristics impedance?
Answer: The characteristics impedance of a filter matches with circuit to which it is connected throughout the pass band.

Question No. 15: List the disadvantages of constant K filters?
Answer: The attenuation does not increase rapidly beyond cut-off frequency. Characteristics impedance varies widely in the pass band from desired value.

Question No. 16: What are the materials used for resistor?

Answer: It is used when resistance is less than 1 ohm.

Question No. 18: State Kirchoff’s current law?
Answer: The algebraic sum of currents at any node of a circuit is zero. The sum of incoming current is equal to sum of outgoing current.

Question No. 19: How equivalent impedance is calculated in Thevenin Theorem?
Answer: All independent voltage sources are short circuited and all independent current sources are open circuited.

Question No. 20: State Superposition theorem
Answer: If a number of voltages or current sources are acting simultaneously in a linear network the resultant current in any branch is the algebraic sum of current that would be produced in it when each source acts alone replacing all other independent sources by their internal resistances.
