EvaluationI began this assignment with the knowledge that it was going to take a long time, due to the fact that the theory took a long time to go through in class. I had other assignments to work on at the time so focused on these, but as soon as I was available to do so I started working my way through the tasks in this assignment.I found Tasks 1.1 and 1.2 relatively simple, all that had to be done was an input of resistor values into a formula. I then checked it by reversing then using the formula to change from star networks to delta and vice versa. Task 1.3 was slightly more difficult as I needed to use addition and subtraction of indices to get the value of RL. I could then use this value to work out the Power in the Load which was the solution to section (b).Until we received the theory work for Task 1.4, the question looked very difficult. However when you start manipulating the circuit using Thevenin’s Theorem, I began to realise that all I had to do was work on small sections at a time, and eventually piece it all together to get the power dissipated in the 50 ohm resistor.Norton’s equivalent circuit was a little bit more difficult as it involved similar principles as Thevenin’s Theorem, however I also had to produce an alternative / equivalent circuit for the original circuit.For 1.6 I used Thevenin’s Theorem to work out the equivalent circuit and could then determine the Load, which could then be split to determine the values of the capacitor and resistor. Using this value of R, I could then determine the maximum power.I found Task 2 relatively difficult due to having to work out the two equations, solve one of them and then drop all of the information back into the first equation. There was easily room for error, but fortunately I think I have managed to avoid it.Tasks 3 and 4 took barely any time at all, compared to Tasks 1 and 2. I found these much easier and didn’t encounter any difficulty with working them out.
ConclusionOverall I am glad this assignment is out of the way, but also enjoyed working out the tasks. I found that the majority of the time I spent on this assignment was spent on typing it up. This was because it was almost entirely typed in Equation Editor which is slow to use when typing formula. This led me to learn the hot keys such as “Ctrl + F” to make a fraction and “Ctrl + R” to produce a root sign, which enabled me to type slightly quicker.I also spent a lot of time on the Images in Microsoft Paint. I have found it to be a very handy drawing software as it is simple to use and gives the desired affect quite easily.It took me around one and a half days to work out all of the tasks but a further two days to put the workings into a presentable format.I am pleased that my commitment to the course can be seen through the effort I put into my work.
