Solution Hint:
[2] Redraw the circuit as follows
Here R1R4 = R2R3 = 1
ie, it is a balanced bridge, so I = 0mA
[6] For t < 0, S1 is closed and S2 is opened so the capacitor C1 will charged upto 3 volt.
VC1(0+ ) = 3 Volt
Now when switch positions are changed, by applying charge conservation
VC2(0+ ) = 3 Volt
[7] Remember that
For transformer, power will be same in input and ouput side. Only voltage/current will be steped up or down.
For transformer, power will be same in input and ouput side. Only voltage/current will be steped up or down.
ie, Pin = Pout
So options B, C will not be applicable.
For emitter follower,
voltage gain = 1 and current gain >1
Pout = [voltage gain] x [current gain] x [Pin]
So option A is correct
[8] Apply KVL to the input loop
v1 - i1(1+1)x103 - [1/jωC](i1+49i1) = 0
Rearrange the above equation for v1
Devide it to get input impedance [Z = v1/i1] = 2x103 + [1/jωC/50]
Ceq = C/50 =100μF/50 = 2μF
