Questions tagged [superposition]

The superposition theorem states that the output of a linear circuit composed of multiple independent sources is the algebraic sum of the outputs due to each independent source alone. Use this tag for questions about circuit analysis using the superposition theorem.

The superposition theorem states that the output of a linear circuit composed of multiple independent sources is the algebraic sum of the outputs due to each independent source alone. To analyze the output of the circuit for an independent source alone, the other independent voltage sources should be replaced with a short circuit and the other independent current sources should be replaced with an open circuit.

Intuition behind the superposition theorem

Consider a circuit with only batteries and resistors. Suppose we choose a resistor at random. Then to find the amount of current through this resistor, we can do it by finding the contribution of each individual battery to the current through this…

Applying Superposition principle - Hayt fig 5.7

Here is my problem from Hayt I am trying to solve applying superposition principle, but I am not getting anywhere close to the correct answer. As the first step I eliminated 2A current source. I tried to solve it using mesh analysis. In the first…

How do you do superposition to find value of voltage source

I know when you are using superposition you have to find the contribution of each independent source. You do this by turning voltage sources to short circuit and current sources to open circuit. then you sum the value of the contributions. This…
