The document contains solutions to practice problems related to linear and nonlinear circuit elements, resistors, independent and dependent sources, transducers, switches, and measurement techniques. In problem P2.2-1, an element is found to be nonlinear because doubling the current does not double the voltage. In problem P2.4-1, the power absorbed by a resistor is calculated to be 21V×3A=63W. In problem P2.6-1, the power received by a voltage source is calculated to be 12V×0.5A=6W, with the source delivering -6W.

1. Problems
Section 2-2 Engineering and Linear Models
P2.2-1
The element is not linear. For example, doubling the current from 2 A to 4 A does not double the voltage. Hence, the property of homogeneity is not satisfied.
P2.2-2
(a) The data points do indeed lie on a straight line. The slope of the line is 0.12 V/A and the line passes through the origin so the equation of the line is 0.12v=. The element is indeed linear.
(b) When i = 40 mA, v = (0.12 V/A)×(40 mA) = (0.12 V/A)×(0.04 A) = 4.8 mV
(c) When v = 4 V, 433.3A0.12i==
P2.2-3
(a) The data points do indeed lie on a straight line. The slope of the line is 256.5 V/A and the line passes through the origin so the equation of the line is 256.5v=. The element is indeed linear.
(b) When i = 4 mA, v = (256.5 V/A)×(4 mA) = (256.5 V/A)×(0.004 A) = 1.026 V
(c) When v = 12 V, 120.04678256.5i== A = 46.78 mA.
P2.2-4
Let i = 1 A , then v = 3i + 5 = 8 V. Next 2i = 2A but 16 = 2v ≠ 3(2i) + 5 = 11.. Hence, the property of homogeneity is not satisfied. The element is not linear.

So there is no real solution to the equation.

The voltage v is the voltage of the current source. The power supplied by the current source is 40 W so
