1. Consider the graph shown in the Fig. (1), which of the fol- [2]
lowing is a tree of this graph?
(a) (b)

(c) (d) Fig. 1

(b) All choices include all nodes of the given graph but
the this subgraph shown on the right-hand-side [which
matches one of the choice above ] is a tree as it does NOT
contain any close path .
:::::::::::::

2. Number of tie-sets that can be obtained from a tree of the graph of Fig. (1) is [2]
(a) 3 (b) 4
(c) 5 (d) 6
(b) The given graph has n = 4 and b = 7. So, the number of twigs, t, available in any tree
constructed out of the given graph is t = n 1 = 4 1 = 3. Thus, the total number of links, l,
is l = b t = b n + 1 = 7 3 = 4. We also know that there will be one and only one tie-set
(f loop/circuit) for each link. Hence, the answer is 4 (four).

3. In the circuit of Fig. (2), if I0 = R = unknown, 3 [2]

ia = 1A, ib = 0.5A, and ic = 0A, the value of the
current, id, is ia
4 2
(a) 1 A (b) 0.5 A
(c) 0.5 A (d) None of the above I0 ib
R
id 2
ic

(c) Bottom node has been assigned as a reference node as 3

shown on the right-side. Applying KCL at nodes x, we ia = 1A

y

x 2

ib + ic id = 0 I0 ib = 0.5A id =? 6
R
ic = 0A
0.5 + 0 id = 0
id = 0.5 A 0

4. The value of V in the circuit of Fig. (3) is 4V [2]

R
(a) 1 V (b) 4 V

(a) Applying KVL on the outer loop, we have

V +46+1=0
V =1V

5. For the circuit of Fig. (4), the value of RT H is 2 i1 [4]

(a) 1 (b) 1

i1

Fig. (4) as shown in Fig. (5), we now write a KCL equation +

at node x as i1

1 vtest 1A
vtest i1 vtest
+ + i1 = 0
2 1

vtest i1 + 2vtest + 2i1 = 0

3vtest = i1 but i1 = 1 A Fig. 5

Hence,
vtest 1
RT H = =
