Now, the circuit is
For RL = 7 ,

IL =

Now, when 6 V connected at port A let Thevenin voltage seen at port B is

VTh, 6 V = RTh # 7 + 1 # 7 = 2 # 7 + 7 = 7 V

This is a linear network, so VTh at port B can be written as
VTh = V1 +
where V1 is the input applied at port A.
We have V1 = 10 V , VTh,10 V = 9 V
...(i)
9 = 10 +
When V1 = 6 V , VTh, 6 V = 9 V
...(ii)
7 = 6 +
Solving (i) and (ii)

Thus, with any voltage V1 applied at port A, Thevenin voltage or open
circuit voltage at port B will be
So,

By taking V1, V2 and V3 all are phasor voltages.
V1 = V2 + V3
Magnitude of V1, V2 and V3 are given as
V1 = 220 V , V2 = 122 V , V3 = 136 V
Since voltage across R is in same phase with V1 and the voltage V3 has a
phase difference of with voltage V1 , we write in polar form
V1 = V2 0c + V3
V1 = V2 + V3 cos + jV3 sin
V1 = (V2 + V3 cos ) + jV3 sin
V1 =
(V2 + V3 cos ) 2 + (V2 sin ) 2

In the circuit we can observe that there are two wheatstone bridge connected
in parallel. Since all resistor values are same, therefore both the bridge are
balanced and no current flows through diagonal arm. So the equivalent
circuit is
We can draw the circuit as

In a series RLC circuit, at resonance, current is given as
i = Vs +0c , VS " source voltage

So, voltage across capacitor at resonance

Vc = Vs + 90c

Voltage across capacitor can be greater than input voltage depending upon
values of , C and R but it is 90c out of phase with the input

40 W bulb has high resistance than 60 W bulb, when connected in series
power is
P1 = I2 R1
P2 = I2 R2
a R1 > R2 , So P1 > P2
Therefore, 40 W bulb glows brighter
