Determine i, io, and vo for all t in the circuit shown in Fig. 7.22. Assume that the switch was closed for a long time. It should be noted that opening a switch in series with an ideal current source creates an infinite voltage at the current source terminals. Clearly this is impossible. For the purposes of problem solving, we can place a shunt resistor in parallel with the source (which now makes it a voltage source in series with a resistor). In more practical circuits, devices that act likecurrent sources are, for the most part, electronic circuits. These circuits will allow the source to act like an ideal current source over its operating range but voltage-limit it when the load resistor becomes too large (as in an open circuit).

- Your team is building a robot that is powered with a 35Ah battery. During testing, the robot will run for a maximum of 5 hours before running out of battery, interrupting testing. The team would like to have a better idea of when the robot is going to run out of battery and needs to be recharged. An electrical engineer on your team designs a board to help solve this, with an LTC2944 and a 0.3mohm sense resistor. You are tasked with writing the software to read the accumulated battery discharge, in mAh, at the highest resolution possible.
