The exam will include the material covered in class, homework assignments 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and labs (excluding PSpice and op amps, but including Lab 2). For the Thevenin equivalent circuit, Methods 1 and 2 will be included (not Method 3), along with measurement of the Thevenin model, as in Lab 2 and class on Sept. 28.

    The exam will be closed-book and closed-notes, and you will need your calculator.

  3. A calculator help session will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 28 from 8-9 PM in Dana 307. Trang Tran will be available if you would like help with solving simultaneous linear equations on the TI-89 before the exam on Sept. 30.

    Please solve the supplemental problem linked here.

    Please clearly show all of the steps used in your analysis. Include circuits that are labeled with the voltages and currents used in your solution. If you get a result using your calculator, clearly show the equations that were solved on your calculator.

Thank you.
