Linear circuit
- A circuit in which relationships are proportional.
- In a linear circuit, current is proportional to voltage.
Procedure (Steps):
1. Select one source and replace all other sources with their
internal resistances.
- Voltage source = 0 Ω (short circuit)
- Current source = ∞ Ω (open circuit)
2.
To determine the contribution of the current source alone we
replace the voltage source with its short-circuit equivalent:
3.
By convention we take IR2V to be in the positive direction and
IR2I to be in the negative direction, the total solution for the
current IR2 is then simply the sum of these currents:
