APPARTUS:
THEORY:
Superposition Theorem The total current in any part of a linear circuit equals the algebraic
sum of the currents produced by each source separately. To evaluate the separate currents to be
combined, replace all other voltage sources by short circuits and all other current sources by
open circuits.
Suppose there are two voltage sources V1 and V2 acting simultaneously on the circuit. Because
of these two voltage sources, say current I flows through the resistance R.
Now replace V2 by short circuit, keeping V1 at its position and measure current through the
resistance, R. Say it is I1. Then replace, V1 by short circuit, reconnect V2 to its original
position and measure current through the same resistance R and say it is I2. Now if we add
these two currents, I1 and I2 we will get the current which is equal to the current - was actually
flowing through R, when both voltage sources V1 and V2 were acting on the circuit
simultaneously. That is I1 + I2 = I.
