Is this matrix diagonalizable? Justify your answer.

(b) Classify the ways in which materials respond to magnetic fields and also specify their value of susceptibility.

(d) The following equations refer to a two-port network
V1 = 5I1 + 2I2
V2 = 2I1 + I2
A load resistance of 3 ohms is connected across port-2 terminals as shown in figure. Calculate the input Impedance.

(e) Write a program in any programming language to compute the money accumulated in a cumulative fixed deposit of a bank for the principal P after n years. The rate of interest is r percent per year compounded annually. The program should read the values of P, r and n. It should display the accumulated money as F.
