The superposition principle states that the voltage across (or
current through) an element in a linear circuit is the algebraic sum
of the voltage across (or currents though ) that element due to each
independent source acting alone.

Steps to apply superposition principle:
1. Turn off all independent sources except one source. Find the output (voltage or
current ) due to that active source using nodal or mesh analysis.
2. Repeat step 1 for each of the other independent sources.
3. Find the total contribution by adding algebraically all the contributions due to the
independent sources.

NOTE:
1. We consider one independent source at a time while all other independent source
are turned off( voltage source by 0V or a short circuit, and current source by 0A or
an open circuit).
2. Dependent source are left intact .

Statement

Superposition can be used in the circuit which has two or more independent sources or
complex excitations.
f(t)=2cos(10t)+5sin(2t)+10
 f1(t)=2cos(10t), f2(t)=5sin(2t), f3(t)=10
Dependent sources are left intact because they are controlled by circuit variables.
Limitation: superposition is based on linearity. It is not applicable to the effect on power
due to each source.
Disadvantage: analyzing more than one circuit.
Advantage: reducing a complex circuit to simpler circuits

In any linear resistive network, the voltage across or the current through any
resistor or source may be calculated by adding algebraically all the individual
voltages or currents caused by the separate independent sources acting alone, with
all other independent voltage source replaced by short circuits and all other
independent current sources replaced by open circuits.

A group of independent sources may be made active and


inactive collectively, if we wish
For example, suppose there are three independent source. The principle states that we
may find a given response by considering each of the three sources acting alone and adding
the three results. Alternatively, we may find the response due to the first and second
sources operating with the third inactive, and then add to this the response caused by the
third source acting alone. This amounts to treating several sources collectively as a sort of
“supersource.”

4.4 Source Transformation

A source transformation is the process of replacing a voltage source vs in


series with a resistor R by a current source is in parallel with a resistor R
,or vice versa.

NOTE
1. The arrow of the current source is directed toward the positive terminal of the
voltage source.

2. The source transformation is not possible when R=0,which is the case with an
ideal voltage source. However, for a practical, nonideal voltage source ,R 0.
Similarly ,an ideal current source with R=  cannot be replaced by a finite
voltage source.

a linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage
source VTh in series with a resistor RTh.

resistance at the terminals when the independent sources are turned off.
