    For unit step source,

    I(t) =
    V
    1 - e(-R / L)t
    R

    At t = 0, I (t) = 0
    For ramp, inputI (t) I(t) =
    V
    tUt - 1 - e(-R / L)t
    R

    At t = 0, I(t) = 0
    For impulse input, I(t) =
    V
    e(-R / L)t
    R

    Then at t = 0, I(t) =
    V
    Maximum
    R

    From Fig. (a)
    V = I (1 + r)
    ⇒ V = 5 (1 + r) ...(i)
    From Fig. (b),
    V – 2 = 7 r ...(ii)
    Adding equations (i), and (ii), we get
    V = 12 volts and, r = 1.5 Ω

    Initial voltage on 2C = 12 volts

    Then,discharging current, Id(t) =
    d
    2C.12 e(-t.3 / 8C)
    dt

    Then , Id(t) t = 0| = -24C ×
    3
    . e(-t.3 / 8C)
    8C

    = -9 amp
    Now, charging current, Ic(t) =
    d
    24C1 - e(-3t / 8C)
    dt

    = -9 amp
    At t = 0, Ic(t) = 9 amp.
    Hence, at t = 0
    total current I(t) = Ic(t) + Id(t) = 0 amp.

    Correct Option: A

    Initial voltage on 2C = 12 volts

    Then,discharging current, Id(t) =
    d
    2C.12 e(-t.3 / 8C)
    dt

    Then , Id(t) t = 0| = -24C ×
    3
    . e(-t.3 / 8C)
    8C

    = -9 amp
    Now, charging current, Ic(t) =
    d
    24C1 - e(-3t / 8C)
    dt

    = -9 amp
    At t = 0, Ic(t) = 9 amp.
    Hence, at t = 0
    total current I(t) = Ic(t) + Id(t) = 0 amp.

    ZTH (impedance looking left through terminal AB)

    = 2j +
    (2 + 2j).(-2j)
    2 + 2j - 2j

    = 2j + 2 – 2j = 2Ω
    For maximum power, ZTH = ZL

    Correct Option: D

    ZTH (impedance looking left through terminal AB)

    = 2j +
    (2 + 2j).(-2j)
    2 + 2j - 2j

    = 2j + 2 – 2j = 2Ω
