Problems
5.1.1(a) Determine the voltage atAin Figure P5.1.1.
(b) WithVi=10 V,R 1 =10 k,R 2 = 1000 ,
andA=100, find the currenti 2.
5.1.2Consider the circuit configuration shown in Figure
P5.1.2. LetVi=1V,R 1 = 1000 ,R 2 = 2000 ,
andA=3.
(a) Computei 2.
(b) IfR 1 changed to 500, recomputei 2.
5.1.3(a) Findvoutin the circuit shown in Figure P5.1.3.
(b) WithVi=2V,R 1 =R 2 = 2 .5k, R 3 =
5k, andA=100, findvout.
5.1.4Determine the Thévenin resistance viewed from
terminalsA–Bof the circuit of Figure P5.1.4 by
setting independent sources to be zero and apply-
ing a test voltage at terminalsA–B.
*5.1.5Show that any amplifier represented by the model
of Figure 5.1.1 of the text can also be represented
by the more general hybrid model of Figure P5.1.5.
Evaluate the four parameters of the hybrid model
(i.e.,ri,ro,hf,hr) in terms ofRi,Ro, andA.
