Superposition Theorem

In superposition theorem any linear bilateral circuit, which contain, G/R of same frequency the current that flows in any branch is the sum of the current's that would result from each G/R Working independently while other G/R. are replaced at that time by their internal resistance if any.

Super Position Theorem Circuit 1

STEP 1

Take one voltage source at a time and replaced the other one with either short or internal resistance.

Super Position Theorem Circuit 2

STEP 2

Determine the particular current by only one source.

Super Position Theorem formula

The current flowing in R2 due to VS1, (with the help of current division rule)

Super Position Theorem formula

STEP 3

Take the next source and repeat steps (1) and (2).

Super Position Theorem formula

STEP NO#4

Find the actual current. Add or subtract the current due to each individual source. If the current are in the same direction add them. If the current are in the opposite direction subtract.

Add the resultant current

Ia = Ia/ + Ia//

Ib = Ib/ + Ib//

Ic = Ic/ + Ic//
