The shift register shown in Fig. is initially loaded with the bit pattern $$1010.$$ Subsequently the shift register is clocked, and with each clock pulse the pattern gets shifted by one bit position to the right. With each shift, the bit at the serial input is pushed to the left most position $$(MSB).$$ After how many clock pulses will the content of the shift register become $$1010$$ again?

In Fig. the value of $$R$$ is

The $$h$$ $$-$$ parameters for a two $$-$$ port network are defined by
$$\left[ {\matrix{ {{E_1}} \cr {{{\rm I}_2}} \cr } } \right] = \left[ {\matrix{ {{h_{11}}} & {{h_{12}}} \cr {{h_{21}}} & {{h_{22}}} \cr } } \right]\left[ {\matrix{ {{{\rm I}_1}} \cr {{E_2}} \cr } } \right].$$
For the two $$-$$ port network shown in Fig. the value of $${h_{12}}$$ is given by

Fig. shows the waveform of the current passing through an inductor of resistance $$1\,\Omega $$ and inductance $$2$$ $$H.$$ The energy absorbed by the inductor in the first four seconds is
