State superposition theorem with suitable example

2 Answers

Answer :

Superposition theorem states that: In a linear circuit with several sources the voltage and current responses in any branch is the algebraic sum of the voltage and current responses due to each source acting independently with all other sources replaced by their internal impedance.

 

Answer :

Superposition theorem: Superposition theorem states that in any linear network containing two or more sources, the response (current) in any element is equal to the algebraic sum of the response (current) caused by individual sources acting alone, while the other sources are replaced by their internal resistances.
