Will be divided to, and R X is the resistance of the specific branch that you want to calculate the Where I S is the total current flow (or source current flow) before the current isĭivided up, R T is the total resistance of all of the branches of the circuit where the current The formula for current division is, I S(R T/R X, We now can figure out the currents I 2 and I 3 by current division. We can now figure out the total current produced by the power supply (I 1), which
#Circuits superposition principle series
This 833Ω is now in series with the 100Ω resistor, which gives a total resistance of 933Ω. Notice how the 1KΩ resistor and the 5KΩ resistor are in parallel. With one power source, it is now simpler to analyze. So, above, is how the circuit will look when the 5V power source is removed. Therefore, the 5V DC power source is removed. We will first analyze the 10V DC power source. So the above circuit is the circuit we will analyze using the superposition theorem. Superposition allows us to do circuit analysis one circuit at a time. With multiple power sources present is difficult and can be very confusing. The brilliance of the superposition theorem is that it simplifies the circuit. We analyze the circuit one power source at a time and then add the values at the end to get the total So now we'll analyze the circuit below with 2 power sources (voltage sources).Īpplying the superposition theorem, we can find the currents and voltages in each part of the circuit. So the best way to see the superposition theorem in practice is do an example. Total current and voltage (in that part of the circuit). Other removed), we add up all the currents and voltages in each part of the circuit and this will equal the That one power source in the circuit and the
The circuit is analyzed with one power source in it and the remaining voltage sources shorted outĪnd the current sources replaced with an open circuit.Īt the end, once we have analyzed the circuit from each power source separately (with So this is how a circuit is analyzed with the superposition. When applying the superposition theorem, voltage sources are shorted out and current sources
The currents or voltages to get the total current or voltage in a certain part of the circuit. ThisĪllows for easier analysis than when considering all of the power sources all at once. The superposition theorem is used in circuits that have mutiple power sources (2 or more power sources).Īccording to the superposition theorem, we can analyze a circuit one power source at a time. In this article, we explain the superposition theorem.
