 At t = 0, I (t) = 0For ramp, inputI (t) I(t) = V  tUt -  1 - e(-R / L)t   R 
 At t = 0, I(t) = 0For impulse input, I(t) = V e(-R / L)t R Then at t = 0, I(t) = V Maximum R 
 Correct Option: BFor unit step source, I(t) = V  1 - e(-R / L)t  R 
 At t = 0, I (t) = 0For ramp, inputI (t) I(t) = V  tUt -  1 - e(-R / L)t   R 
 At t = 0, I(t) = 0For 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 ΩCorrect Option: B

 = -9 ampNow, charging current, Ic(t) = d  24C  1 - 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.

 = 2j + 2 – 2j = 2Ω
 For maximum power, ZTH = ZL
 Correct Option: DZTH (impedance looking left through terminal AB) = 2j + (2 + 2j).(-2j) 2 + 2j - 2j 
 = 2j + 2 – 2j = 2Ω
 For maximum power, ZTH = ZL
