EEE Short Questions and Answers (DC)


1. What is Superposition Theorem ?
ans : A network theorem that permits considering the effects of each source independently. The resulting current and/or voltage is the algebraic sum of the currents and/or voltages developed by each source independently.

2. Define Millman's Theorem ?
ans : A method employing source conversions that will permit the determination of unknown variables in a multi-loop network.

3. Define Maximum Power Transfer Theorem ?
ans : A theorem used to determine the load resistance necessary to ensure maximum power transfer to the load.

4. Define Norton's Theorem ?
ans : A theorem that permits the reduction of any two-terminal linear dc network to one having a single current source and parallel resistor.

5.  What is a Capacitor ?
ans : A fundamental electrical element having two conducting surfaces separated by an insulating material and having the capacity to store charge on its plate.

6. What is an Inductor ?
ans : A fundamental element of electrical systems constructed of numerous turns of wire around a ferromagnetic core or an air core.

7.  What is self-inductance (L) ?
ans : A measure of the ability of a coil to oppose any change in current trough the coil and to store energy in the form of a magnetic field in the region surrounding the coil.

8. Define Current Divider Rule (CDR) ?
ans : A method by which the current through parallel elements can be determined without first finding the voltage across those parallel elements.

9. What is an Open Circuit ?
ans : The absence of a direct connection between two points in a network.

10. What is a Short Circuit ?
ans : A direct connection of low resistive value that can significantly alter the behavior of an element or system.
