Exam will cover Sections 4.12 through 7.7 (including 7.7)

The problems on the exam will be selected to emphasize the concepts presented in lectures and covered by the assigned homework problems.

• For this exam, the circuit diagrams will be labeled so that everyone is working the problem with the same approach.
• One of the exam problems will be on applying superposition to find a voltage or current in a circuit. There will not be a dependent source in the superposition question.
• Understand the principal of maximum power transfer.
• Know the boundary conditions for an ideal OP AMP. Be able to compute a voltage gain of a circuit. Also be able to compute the output voltages for summing and differencing circuits.
• No problem on common-mode rejection.
• Know the fundamental properties of inductors and capacitors such as the basic differential equations (Table 6.1) and the boundary conditions.
• Be able to combine inductors and capacitors in series and parallel.
• Be able to compute the natural responses of RC and LC circuits.
• Study the details of the general solution approach given in section 7.4. This is the way I will expect you to approach the solutions to the problems.
• I will not ask a sequential switching question.
• I will not ask a unbounded response question.
• Study the integrating amplifier. This is an important concept and you must be able to work a problem using the OP AMP integrator.
• Remember to review previous material in the book. This book continuously builds on previous material.
