Superposition Theorem: Faculty of Engineering-Electrical and Computer Engineering Department

The document describes an electrical circuits lab experiment on applying the superposition theorem. The aim is to use the theorem to solve for currents and voltages in a circuit with two voltage sources. The theory section explains that the superposition theorem allows breaking the circuit into parts, solving each with only one source, and then summing the results. The procedures section outlines connecting a circuit with two sources, running simulations with each source alone and both, and verifying the results match the superposition theorem.

Aim :_
We able to apply the superposition theorem to linear circuits with more than one voltage source,
We able to construct a circuit with two voltage sources, solve for the currents and voltages
throughout the circuit, and verify your computation by measurement

Theory:
Superposition theorem: The superposition theorem for electrical circuits states that the voltage
or current in any branch of a linear circuit having more than one independent source equals the
algebraic sum of the voltage or current caused by each independent source acting alone. To
determine the contribution of each individual source, all of the other sources first must be
"turned off" (set to zero) by:

 Replacing all other independent voltage sources with a short circuit


 Replacing all other independent current sources with an open circuit
 This procedure is followed for each source in turn, and then the resultant responses are
added to determine the true operation of the circuit. The resultant circuit operation is the
superposition of the various voltage and current sources.

Procedures:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram of the shown figure.

2. Set 𝑉1 at 40𝑉𝑟𝑚𝑠 , 50 Hz, 30° .


3. Reenter the same values for AC Analysis Magnitude and Phase.
4. Set 𝑉2 at 50𝑉𝑟𝑚𝑠 , 50 Hz, 0°.
5. Reenter the same values for AC Analysis Magnitude and Phase.
6. Select Single Frequency AC Mode.

7. Set the frequency for 50𝐻𝑧, or click on auto detect.
8. Select the complex number format.
9. On the output window, choose the current of the capacitor to be monitored.
10. Run your simulation and record the readings of (𝐼𝐶 , 𝐼𝑅 , 𝐼𝐿 & 𝑉𝐶 ).
11. Remove 𝑉2, and replace it with short circuit. Then, run your simulation and record your
results of (𝐼𝐶′ , 𝐼𝑅′ , 𝐼𝐿′ & 𝑉𝐶′ ).

12. Reinsert 𝑉2, replace 𝑉1 with short circuit, run your simulation and record your results
of (𝐼𝐶′′ , 𝐼𝑅′′ , 𝐼𝐿′′ & 𝑉𝐶′′ ).

13. Verify that 𝑉𝐶 = 𝑉𝐶′ + 𝑉𝐶′′ & 𝐼 = 𝐼 ′ + 𝐼 ′′

𝑋 𝑋′ 𝑋′′ 𝑋 ′ + 𝑋 ′′
Magnitude(A) phase Magnitude(A) phase Magnitude(A) phase Magnitude(A) phase
𝐼𝑅 992.85m -142.295 1.11 -26.56 1.78 -176.568 988.9m -142.43

𝐼𝐶 4.248 106.61 1.11 153.43 3.579 93.43 4.244 106.52

𝐼𝐿 4.697 95.237 2.236 153.43 4 66.87 4.697 95.2

𝑉𝐶 84.966 16.61 22.36 63.43 71.56 3.43 84.97 16.6

14. Verify your results by using mathematical analysis of the circuit.

Discussion :_
The current through, or voltage across, any element of a network is equal to the algebraic sum
of the currents or voltages produced independently by each source , when removing a voltage
source from a network schematic, replace it with a direct connection (short circuit) of zero
ohms. Any internal resistance associated with the source must remain in the network. when
removing a current source from a network schematic, replace it by an open circuit of infinite
ohms. Any internal resistance associated with the source must remain in the network. Since the
effect of each source will be determined independently, the number of networks to be
analyzed will equal the number of sources.

Conclusion :_
To superimpose something means to lay one thing on top of another. The superposition
theorem is a means by which we can solve circuits that have more than one independent
voltage source. Each source is taken, one at a time, as if it were the only source in the circuit. All
other source is replaced with their internal resistance. The superposition theorem will work for
any number of sources as long as you are consistent in accounting for the direction of currents
and the polarity of voltages
