    From above figure:
    Voltage across terminals A and C is 30 – 4 = 26V; since terminal A is positive, therefore power delivered by the 8A current source is positive
    Pdelivered = VI = 26 × 8 = 208W.

    Correct Option: A


    From above figure:
    Voltage across terminals A and C is 30 – 4 = 26V; since terminal A is positive, therefore power delivered by the 8A current source is positive
    Pdelivered = VI = 26 × 8 = 208W.



  1. Power delivered by 6A current source—

    From figure given in solution 21:
    Voltage across terminal D and C is 1V
    since terminal D is negative, therefore power delivered by 6A current source is negative
    Pdelivered = – VI = – 1 × 6 = – 6W.

    Correct Option: B

    From figure given in solution 21:
    Voltage across terminal D and C is 1V
    since terminal D is negative, therefore power delivered by 6A current source is negative
    Pdelivered = – VI = – 1 × 6 = – 6W.

    From figure given in solution 21, we conclude that current passing through 2Ω resistor is 15A. So power absorbed by 2Ω resistor.
    Pabsorbed = I2R = 152 × 2 = 450W.

    Correct Option: A

    The power absorbed by the element F is negative since here current exits from the positive terminal.

    Correct Option: C

    The power absorbed by the element F is negative since here current exits from the positive terminal.
