# Two Port Networks

 Question 1
A linear 2-port network is shown in Fig. (a). An ideal DC voltage source of 10 V is connected across Port 1. A variable resistance R is connected across Port 2. As R is varied, the measured voltage and current at Port 2 is shown in Fig. (b) as a $V_2$ versus $-I_2$ plot. Note that for $V_2=5V,I_2=0mA$, and for $V_2=4V,I_2=-4mA$.
When the variable resistance R at Port 2 is replaced by the load shown in Fig. (c), the current $I_2$ is _______ mA (rounded off to one decimal place).

 A 3.2 B 6.8 C 4 D 8

Question 1 Explanation:

CASE-1:
$I_2=0$
$V_{oc}=5V$

CASE-2: With help of linearity
$\frac{4-5}{4-0}=\frac{I_{sc}-5}{I_{sc}-0}\Rightarrow I_{sc}=20mA$
$R_{th}=\frac{V_{oc}}{I_{sc}}=\frac{5}{20}k=250\Omega =0.25k\Omega$

CASE-3

$I_2=\frac{10-5}{1.25}=4mA$

Question 3 Explanation:
For ideal transformer of n : 1, the scattering matrix is
$\begin{bmatrix} S_{11} &S_{12} \\ S_{21} & S_{22} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} \frac{n^{2}-1}{n^{2}+1} &\frac{2n}{n6{}} \\ & \end{bmatrix}$
$S_{21}=\frac{2n}{n^{2}+1}=\frac{2(2)}{2^2+1}=\frac{4}{5}=0.8$
 Question 4
In the given circuit, the two-port network has the impedance matrix$[Z] =\begin{bmatrix} 40 & 60\\ 60 & 120 \end{bmatrix}$. The value of $Z_L$ for which maximum power is transferred to the load is _________ $\Omega$.

Question 4 Explanation:
From maximum power transfer theorem
$Z_{L}=Z_{th}$
$Z_{th}=Z_{22}-\frac{Z_{12}\times Z_{21}}{R_{S}+Z_{11}}$
For given data,
$Z_{th}=120-\frac{60\times 60}{10+40}=48\Omega$
$Z_{L}=48\Omega$

Question 5 Explanation:
$B=-\left.\frac{V_{1}}{I_{2}}\right|_{V_{2}=0}$
When $V_{2}=0$ (i.e., when port-2 is short circuited)

\begin{aligned} I_{1}&=\frac{V_{1}}{2 \Omega+(5 \Omega \| 2 \Omega)}=\frac{7 V_{1}}{24 \Omega}\\ I_{2}&=-I_{1} \times \frac{5 \Omega}{5 \Omega+2 \Omega}=\frac{-5 V_{1}}{24 \Omega}\\ \text { So, } \quad B&=-\frac{V_{1}}{I_{2}}=\frac{24}{5} \Omega=4.80 \Omega \end{aligned}
