Therefore,

AP 1.2 To solve this problem we use a product of ratios to change units from
dollars/year to dollars/millisecond. We begin by expressing $10 billion in
scientific notation:
$100 billion = $100 109
Now we determine the number of milliseconds in one year, again using a
product of ratios:
1 year

1 hour 1 min

=
365.25 days 24 hours 60 mins 60 secs 1000 ms 31.5576 109 ms
Now we can convert from dollars/year to dollars/millisecond, again with a
product of ratios:

CHAPTER 1. Circuit Variables

AP 1.3 Remember from Eq. (1.2), current is the time rate of change of charge, or
i = dq
In this problem, we are given the current and asked to find the total
dt
charge. To do this, we must integrate Eq. (1.2) to find an expression for
charge in terms of current:
q(t) =

i(x) dx

We are given the expression for current, i, which can be substituted into the
above expression. To find the total charge, we let t in the integral. Thus
we have
qtotal =

AP 1.4 Recall from Eq. (1.2) that current is the time rate of change of charge, or
i = dq
. In this problem we are given an expression for the charge, and asked to
dt
find the maximum current. First we will find an expression for the current
using Eq. (1.2):

value of the current by setting the first derivative of the current to zero and
solving for t:

Since et never equals 0 for a finite value of t, the expression equals 0 only
when (1 t) = 0. Thus, t = 1/ will cause the current to be maximum. For
this value of t, the current is

AP 1.5 Start by drawing a picture of the circuit described in the problem statement:

Also sketch the four figures from Fig. 1.6:

[a] Now we have to match the voltage and current shown in the first figure
with the polarities shown in Fig. 1.6. Remember that 4A of current
entering Terminal 2 is the same as 4A of current leaving Terminal 1. We
get
(a) v = 20 V,
(c) v = 20 V,

i = 4 A; (b) v = 20 V,
i = 4 A;

(d) v = 20 V,

i = 4A
i = 4A

[b] Using the reference system in Fig. 1.6(a) and the passive sign convention,
p = vi = (20)(4) = 80 W. Since the power is greater than 0, the box is
absorbing power.
[c] From the calculation in part (b), the box is absorbing 80 W.
AP 1.6 [a] Applying the passive sign convention to the power equation using the
voltage and current polarities shown in Fig. 1.5, p = vi. To find the time
at which the power is maximum, find the first derivative of the power
with respect to time, set the resulting expression equal to zero, and solve
for time:
p = (80,000te500t)(15te500t) = 120 104 t2 e1000t

Therefore,
240 104 120 107 t = 0
Solving,
t=

240 104
= 2 103 = 2 ms
120 107

[b] The maximum power occurs at 2 ms, so find the value of the power at 2
ms:
p(0.002) = 120 104 (0.002)2 e2 = 649.6 mW
[c] From Eq. (1.3), we know that power is the time rate of change of energy,
or p = dw/dt. If we know the power, we can find the energy by
integrating Eq. (1.3). To find the total energy, the upper limit of the
integral is infinity:

AP 1.7 At the Oregon end of the line the current is leaving the upper terminal, and
thus entering the lower terminal where the polarity marking of the voltage is
negative. Thus, using the passive sign convention, p = vi. Substituting the
values of voltage and current given in the figure,
p = (800 103 )(1.8 103 ) = 1440 106 = 1440 MW
Thus, because the power associated with the Oregon end of the line is
negative, power is being generated at the Oregon end of the line and
transmitted by the line to be delivered to the California end of the line.

Therefore, dq = 20 cos 5000t dt


To find the charge, we can integrate both sides of the last equation. Note that
we substitute x for q on the left side of the integral, and y for t on the right

[a] In Car A, the current i is in the direction of the voltage drop across the 12
V battery(the current i flows into the + terminal of the battery of Car
A). Therefore using the passive sign convention,

Since the power is positive, the battery in Car A is absorbing power, so
Car A must have the dead battery.

Assume we are standing at box A looking toward box B. Then, using the
passive sign convention p = vi, since the current i is flowing into the
terminal of the voltage v. Now we just substitute the values for v and i into
the equation for power. Remember that if the power is positive, B is absorbing
power, so the power must be flowing from A to B. If the power is negative, B
is generating power so the power must be flowing from B to A.

[a] We can find the time at which the power is a maximum by writing an
expression for p(t) = v(t)i(t), taking the first derivative of p(t)
and setting it to zero, then solving for t. The calculations are shown below:

when t2 40t + 266.67 = 0

t2 = 31.547 s

(using the polynomial solver on your calculator)


p(t1 )

= 4(8.453) 0.3(8.453)2 + 0.005(8.453)3 = 15.396 W

p(t2 ) = 4(31.547) 0.3(31.547)2 + 0.005(31.547)3 = 15.396 W


Therefore, maximum power is being delivered at t = 8.453 s.

which the power is maximum: pmax = 15.396 W (delivered)

CHAPTER 1. Circuit Variables

We use the passive sign convention to determine whether the power equation
is p = vi or p = vi and substitute into the power equation the values for v
and i, as shown below:
pa

vaia = (150 103 )(0.6 103 ) = 90 W

pb

vbib = (150 103 )(1.4 103 ) = 210 W

pc

vcic = (100 103 )(0.8 103 ) = 80 W

pd

vdid = (250 103 )(0.8 103 ) = 200 W

pe

veie = (300 103 )(2 103 ) = 600 W

pf = vf if = (300 103 )(1.2 103 ) = 360 W


Remember that if the power is positive, the circuit element is absorbing
power, whereas is the power is negative, the circuit element is developing
power. We can add the positive powers together and the negative powers
together
if the power balances, these power sums should be equal:
X
Pdev = 210 + 200 + 360 = 770 W;
X
Pabs = 90 + 80 + 600 = 770 W
Thus, the power balances and the total power developed in the circuit is 770
W.

vaia = (990)(0.0225) = 22.275 W

pb

vbib = (600)(0.03) = 18 W

vdid = (105)(0.0525) = 5.5125 W

vf if = (165)(0.0825) = 13.6125 W

pg

Thus, the interconnection does not satisfy the power check.


P 1.28

[a] From the diagram and the table we have


pa

vaia = (46.16)(6) = 276.96 W

pb

vbib = (14.16)(4.72) = 66.8352 W

pc

vcic = (32)(6.4) = 204.8 W

pd

vdid = (22)(1.28) = 28.16 W

pe

veie = (33.6)(1.68) = 56.448 W

pf

vf if = (66)(0.4) = 26.4 W

pg

vg ig = (2.56)(1.28) = 3.2768 W

ph

vhih = (0.4)(0.4) = 0.16 W

Pdel

= 276.96 + 28.16 + 56.448 + 26.4 = 387.968 W

Pabs

= 66.8352 + 204.8 + 3.2768 + 0.16 = 275.072 W

Therefore,

Pdel 6=

Pabs and the subordinate engineer is correct.

[b] The difference between the power delivered to the circuit and the power
absorbed by the circuit is
387.986 + 275.072 = 112.896 W
One-half of this difference is 56.448 W, so it is likely that pe is in error.
Either the voltage or the current probably has the wrong sign. (In
Chapter 2, we will discover that using KCL at the node connecting
components b, c, and e, the current ie should be 1.68 A, not 1.68 A!) If
the sign of pe is changed from negative to positive, we can recalculate the
power delivered and the power absorbed as follows:
X

Pdel

= 276.96 + 28.16 + 26.4 = 331.52 W

Pabs = 66.8352 + 204.8 + 56.448 + 3.2768 + 0.16 = 331.52 W


Now the power delivered equals the power absorbed and the power
balances for the circuit.
P 1.29

[a] From an examination of reference polarities, elements a, e, f, and h use a


+ sign in the power equation, so would be expected to absorb power.
Elements b, c, d, and g use a sign in the power equation, so would be
expected to supply power.

Thus, 109 mW of power is delivered and 109 mW of power is absorbed,

[c] Looking at the calculated power values, elements a, c, d, f, and h have


positive power, so are absorbing, while elements b, e, and g have negative
power so are supplying. These answers are different from those in part
