 After reading the notes, open the index page of D Roy Choudhury. Glance through the topic names listed in the index. There are quite a few additional topics. Guess what those could be just from the names/titles. If you can guess, you don't have to read it. If you feel curious about any topic, you may read.

 Play and have fun with this filter applet
The End

After each class, I shall put the answers to the questions and doubts raised in class. Also, if I make any mistake in the class the rectifiction would be put here
  • Nano Project 1 (Theoratical): We have studied compensation theorem where a compensating voltage source is used. Could you develop a new compensation theorem where a current source is used for compensating the change of an impedance
    Deadline: 10 Oct 2018.
  • Nano Project 2 (Theoratical): An old friend of mine (Mr. M.P.) claims that nodal analysis is always better than mesh analysis because nodal analysis requires less number of unknowns to deal with. According to him, the number of unknown node voltages are always less than the number of mesh/loop currents. I want to smash his pride by proving him wrong. Could you please help me.
    Deadline: 9/9/18
  • Nano Project 3 (Theoratical) Mr. M.P. has given me this circuit to solve. The constraint is to solve using Mesh analysis only. To start with I do not understand how many loops should I take and which are they. What a messy circuit is this.
    Deadline: 9/9/18
  • Nano Project 4 (Theoratical) Is the reciprocity theorem true for a two port network consisting of only linear dependent sources (No independent source)? If yes, then prove it. If not, then disprove it or find a counter example. A transformer can be thought of as a two port network with dependent sources. Please check if the reciprocity theorem holds true for a transformer.
    Deadline: 15/10/18
Reward: 1st 5 unique (independent) submissions will be officially certified (However, no marks will be given in the course evaluation). A group can have at max 2 students.
Submissions must be through emails. Submissions will be evaluated after the end-sem exam.
Share your solution through the google group
Dear students, if you have a nice scientific story to explain a relevant topic or an experiment to demonstrate some idea, please share.
Selected ideas will be rewarded with official certificates of appreciation.
