Network Theory Multiple Choice Questions on “Hybrid (h) Parameter”.
1. For the circuit given below, the value of the hybrid parameter h11 is ___________
A. 15 Ω
B. 20 Ω
C. 30 Ω
D. 25 Ω
Answer: A
Clarification: Hybrid parameter h11 is given by, h11 = (frac{V_1}{I_1}), when V2=0.
Therefore short circuiting the terminal Y-Y’, we get,
V1 = I1 ((10||10) + 10)
= I1 (left(left(frac{10×10}{10+10}right)+10right))
= 15I1
∴ (frac{V_1}{I_1}) = 15.
Hence h11 = 15 Ω.
2. For the circuit given below, the value of the hybrid parameter h21 is ___________
A. 0.6 Ω
B. 0.5 Ω
C. 0.3 Ω
D. 0.2 Ω
Answer: B
Clarification: Hybrid parameter h21 is given by, h21 = (frac{I_2}{I_1}), when V2=0.
Therefore short circuiting the terminal Y-Y’, and applying Kirchhoff’s law, we get,
-10 I2 – (I2 – I1)10 = 0
Or, -I2 = I2 – I1
Or, -2I2 = -I1
∴ (frac{I_2}{I_1} = frac{1}{2})
Hence h21 = 0.5 Ω.
3. For the circuit given below, the value of the hybrid parameter h12 is ___________

B. 5 Ω
C. 1 Ω
D. 2 Ω
Answer: C

Therefore short circuiting the terminal X-X’ we get,
V1 = IA × 10
IA = (frac{I_2}{2})
V2 = IB × 10
IB = (frac{I_2}{2})
From the above 4 equations, we get,
∴ (frac{V_1}{V_2} = frac{I_2×10}{I_2×10}) = 1
Hence h12 = 1 Ω.

Therefore short circuiting the terminal X-X’ we get,
V1 = IA × 10
IA = (frac{I_2}{2})
V2 = IB × 10
IB = (frac{I_2}{2})
From the above 4 equations, we get,
∴ (frac{I_2}{V_2} = frac{I_2×2}{I_2×10}) = 0.2
Hence h22 = 0.2 Ω.

Therefore short circuiting the terminal Y-Y’, we get,
V1 = I1 ((5 || 5) + 5)
= I1 (left(left(frac{5×5}{5+5}right)+5right))
= 7.5I1
∴ (frac{V_1}{I_1}) = 7.5
Hence h11 = 7.5 Ω.

Therefore short circuiting the terminal Y-Y’, and applying Kirchhoff’s law, we get,
-5 I2 – (I2 – I1)5 = 0
Or, -I2 = I2 – I1
Or, -2I2 = -I1
∴ (frac{I_2}{I_1} = frac{1}{2})
Hence h21 = 0.5 Ω.
7. For the circuit given below, the value of the hybrid parameter h12 is ___________

Therefore short circuiting the terminal X-X’ we get,
V1 = IA × 5
V2 = IA × 5
From the above equations, we get,
∴ (frac{V_1}{V_2} = frac{I_A×10}{I_A×10}) = 1
Hence h12 = 1 Ω.

Therefore short circuiting the terminal X-X’ we get,
V1 = IA × 5
V2 = IA × 5
IA = I2
From the above equations, we get,
∴ (frac{I_2}{V_2} = frac{I_2}{I_2×5}) = 0.2
Hence h22 = 0.2 Ω.
