c:

(a) A network has five nodes A, B,

D and E. Between the nodes the elements are connected as described
below.
Branch AB has a resistance of 200 fl; branches BC, CD and DA of the bridge have equal values o.t
res}st9rs of 300~0 each; branches CE & DE( node E is insidc"'thc loop AI3CD) also have equal values of
resistor of 300 n each; A non-linear resistance RL = 620 e-(.Olv) n is connected between the nodes B
and E where vis the voltage across RL in volts; A direct current source of Is amperes with the current
direction towards A is connected between A & C.
Draw the circuit diagram and determine the source current Is for delivering maximum power to RL
Calculate maximum power transferred to the load resistance and the power supplied by the source at
that condition.
