Superposition
• This analysis is done by:
- shorting each voltage source in turn

Steps In Superposition
• Steps in Superposition
1. Select one of the independent sources. Set all
other independent sources to zero
2. Relabel voltages and currents using suitable
notation
3. Analyze the simplified circuit to find the desired
currents and/or voltages
4. Repeat step 1 through 3 until each independent
sources has been considered
5. Add the partial currents and/or voltages obtained
from the separate analyses
Example
Question: Given circuit, use superposition to find Itotal?
Solution:
I1 = 1A
I2 = 2A
Itotal = I1+I2
= 3A
Example
Question: Given circuit, use superposition to find Itotal?
Solution:
I1 = 1A
I2 = 0A
Itotal = I1+I2
= 1A
Example
(3 || 4) (12 / 7)
Vx( 42V ) = × 42 = × 42
6 + (3 || 4) 6 + (12 / 7)
= 9.333V
Example
(6 || 3) 2
Vx(10V ) = − ×10 = − ×10
(6 || 3) + 4 2+4
= −3.333V
