Objective of this experiment : Understand and learn Superposition Theorem and verify
using

Proteus.

Apparatus : PC loaded with Proteus.

Theory : The superposition theorem states that: “The current through or voltage across an
element in a linear bilateral network is equal to the algebraic sum of the currents or
voltages produced independently by each source” To remove a voltage source when
applying this theorem, the difference in potential between the terminals of the voltage
source must be set to zero (short circuit) and removing a current source requires that its
terminals be opened (open circuit).

Any internal resistance or conductance associated with the displaced sources is not
eliminated but must still be considered. The total current through any portion of the
network is equal to the algebraic sum of the currents produced independently by each
source. That is for a two-source network if the current produced by one source is in one
direction while that produced by the

other is in the opposite direction through the same resistor, the resulting current is the
difference of the two and has the direction of the larger. If the individual currents are in the
same direction, the resulting current is the sum of two in the direction of either current.
This rule holds true for the voltage across a portion of a network as determined by
polarities, and it can be extended to networks with any number of sources. The total power
delivered to a resistive element must be determined using the total current through or the
total voltage across the element and cannot be determined by a simple sum of the power
levels established by each source [1].

Keeping 12 V source on ,we get :
Here , , 4ohm and 8 ohm in series ,

4 ohm+ 8 ohm= 12 ohm

Here , 12 ohm and 4 ohm in parallel , 12||

4= (12*4)\(12+4)= 3 ohm

i1=12\(3+3)= 2 A

Keeping 24 V source on , we get:

Here, 4ohm and 8 ohm in series ,

4 hm+ 8 ohm= 12
Applying KVL in mesh 1 ,

3Ix+4(Ix-Iy)=0

=>7Ix-4Iy=0

=>Iy=7Ix\4…………(1)

Applying KVL in mesh 2 ,

12Iy+4(Iy-Ix)+24=0

=>12(7Ix\4)+4(7Ix\4-Ix)= -24

=>24Ix= -24 =>Ix=

i2=Ix= -1 A

Keeping 3 A source on , we get:

Ia=3A………(1)

Applying KVL in mesh 2,

8Ib+4(Ib-Ic)+4(Ib-Ia)=0

=>16Ib-4Ic-12=0

=>4Ib-Ic-3=0

=>Ib=(Ic+3)\4…………….(2)

Applying KVl in mesh 3,

3(Ic-Ia)+4(Ic-Ib)=0

=>3Ic-3Ia+4Ic-4Ib=0

=>7Ic-9-4((Ic+3)\4)=0

=>6Ic-12=0

=>Ic= 2 A
