(b) (i) The following measurements were made on an amplifier :

- With port 1 open, voltage of 50 V is applied at port 2. The voltage at port 1
and the current at port 2 are 50 mV and 2.5 A respectively.
- With port 2 short circuited, current of 2.5 mA is applied at port 1. The
voltage at port 1 is 1.25 V and the current at port 2 is 3.75 A.
Based on the measurement, determine the h parameters for the amplifier.

(ii) If the source of 2 Vrms with a 100 internal impedance is connected to port
1 of the amplifier with the h parameters obtained from (i), determine
whether the source is safe to drive a speaker modelled as a 32 resistance
with a power rating of 100 W as shown in Figure Q.1(b-ii).

(b) Figure Q.2(b) shows two parallel loads connected to supply voltage of 10 kV at
frequency of 50 Hz. Load A is a resistive load with power of 50 kW. Load B is a
set of motors that operate at 100kVA, 0.75 lagging power factor. By taking supply
voltage as a reference, determine:

overall power factor to 0.96 lagging.
(iii) The current drawn from the supply under new power factor conditions.
