1. a)Derive the relation for Transient response for first order (5M)
a. RC Circuit b. RL Circuit
b) In the circuit shown in fig. v(t)=56e-200t V, t>0 and i(t)=8e-200t mA, t>0
a.Find Values of R and C (2M)
b.Calculate time constant (1M)
c.Determine the time required for the voltage for the voltage to decay half its intial value
at t=0 (2M)

2. a)The switch in the figure opens at t=0. Find vo for t>0 (5M)

b)For the circuit in the figure find io for t>0 (5M)

3. Find i(t) and v(t) for t>0 in the circuit if i(0)=10 A for Fig (a) (5M)
and find v0 and vx for t>0 if v0(0)=10 V for Fig (b) (5M)

4. a) Explain about the generation of three phase voltages? (3M)

b) A symmetrical three-phase, three-wire 440V supply is connected to a star-connected load
as shown in the figure. The impedances in each branch are ZR=(2+j3), ZY=(1-j2) and
ZB=(3+j4). Find its equivalent delta-connected load. The phase sequence is RYB
