    Q.  What is the function of dependent source in the circuit diagram shown below?
   
(Marks : 02)- Published on 19 Oct 15a. It delivers 256 W
b. It absorbs 256 W
c. It delivers 512 W
d. It absorbs 512 W
ANSWER: It absorbs 512 W
 
From the given network,
Power = V x I
           = (2 Ix) x Ix
            = 2 I2x
Since Ix = 16A
P = 2 x (16)2
   = 512 W (absorption)
Hence, the total power of about 512W is absorbed in the given circuit.
