MCQ 1.1 Consider a network which consists of resistors and voltage sources only. If the
values of all the voltage sources are doubled, then the values of mesh current will be(A) doubled (B) same
(C) halved (D) none of these
SOL 1.1 Option (A) is correct.
From the principal of superposition, doubling the values of voltage source doubles
the mesh currents.

MCQ 1.24 The value of ZLwhich will absorb a maximum power, is
(A) 10 5j + (B) 10 5j +
(C) 8 4j1 + (D) 8 14j
SOL 1.24 Option (C) is correct.
We obtain the Thevenin impedance across the load terminal.
