The circuit in Figure SP 6-1 has three inputs: vw, vx, and vy. The circuit has one
Chapter 6, Problem SP6-1(choose chapter or problem)
The circuit in Figure SP 6-1 has three inputs: \(v_w, v_x,\) and \(v_y\). The circuit has one output, \(v_z\). The equation
\(v_z = av_w + bv_x + cv_y\)
expresses the output as a function of the inputs. The coefficients a, b, and c are real constants.
(a) Use PSpice and the principle of superposition to determine the values of a, b, and c.
(b) Suppose \(v_w = 2\) V, \(v_x = x,\) \(v_y = y\) and we want the output to be \(v_z = z\). Express z as a function of x and y.
Hint: The output is given by \(v_z = a\) when \(v_w = 1\) V, \(v_x = 0\) V, and \(v_y = 0\) V.
