Question
For the circuit shown, if , the instantaneous value of the Thevenin's equivalent voltage (in Volts) across the terminals a-b at time is __________ (Round off to 2 decimal places).

Correct answer
-12.1 to -11.9
Solution
At rad/s the figure already gives the reactive elements as impedances:Take the bottom conductor as the reference (). Let be the node feeding the branch that carries and the node on the other side of the dependent source. The two shunt branches areThe Thevenin voltage is the open-circuit voltage, so no current leaves terminal a andThe dependent source of value lies between the two nodes:KCL for the supernode made of , the dependent source and (the current source injects ):With and :The factor is purely real, so the Thevenin voltage is in phase with the source current:At ms, rad and :Answer: V
