SUPERPOSITION THEOREM:

• The superposition theorem states that a circuit with multiple voltage and current
sources is equal to the sum of simplified circuits using just one of the sources. A
circuit composed of two voltage sources, for example, will be equal to the sum of
two circuits, each one using one of the sources and having the other removed. To
simplify a circuit using the superposition theorem, the following steps to be followed:
identify all current and voltage sources in the circuit; create multiple versions of the
circuit and the other sources must be removed using the following rule: voltage
sources must be replaced with a short circuit and current sources just removed from
the circuit, every version containing just one of the sources; find the currents and
voltages required; and sum the results obtained in all circuits.
STRATEGY USE :

• Replace all of the power sources except one. Replace voltage sources with a
short circuit (wire) and current sources with an open circuit (break). Step 2:
Calculate the voltages and currents due to each individual source. Step 3:
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each power supply
