Exam 2 - Circuit Branch Analysis
This exam is an individual student take home test. Absolutely no help from any person will be allowed.
The exam will review lecture concepts discussed such as; phasor diagrams, equivalent circuits, AC series
and AC parallel circuits, passive components, resistance and inductance, magnitude and phase relationship,
superposition, KVL, KCL, loop analysis, and node analysis. Students must show all work in a neat and
logical order. Good luck.
