Some circuits require more than one voltage or current source. For example, certain types of amplifiers require both a positive and a negative voltage source for proper operation. The analysis of those circuits can be simplified by the application of the Superposition theorem. The Superposition method is a way to determine currents and voltages in a circuit that has multiple sources by taking one circuit at a time. The other sources are replaced by their internal resistances. (Recall that the ideal voltage sources has zero internal resistance while an ideal current source has an infinite resistance). In this experiment, all sources will be treated as ideal in order to simplify the coverage. The general statement of the Superposition Theorem is as follows: “ In any linear resistive circuit containing two or more independent sources, any circuit voltage (or current) may be calculated as the algebraic sum of all individual voltages (or currents) caused by each independent source acting alone, i.e. with all other independent sources replaces by their internal resistance .” TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES College of Engineering - Electrical Engineering Department Ayala Blvd. Ermita, Manila, 1000, Philippines ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS 1 LABORATORY Experiment No. 6 Superposition Theorem GRAJO, JERVIS MARC D.

The superposition theorem is used in circuit analysis to estimate the current and voltage across each circuit's components. When there are multiple sources, this is advantageous. In accordance with the superposition theorem. The reaction of components is a mathematical accumulation of each source's response. To see if we followed the statement above, we calculated the total amount of current that flows through the resistors when one source is compared to the total amount of current observed when two sources are linked in a circuit. We demonstrated that the resultant of the current is indeed equal to the sum of current from each source in this experiment. The percentage difference for each current equals zero in the findings. As a result, the superposition theorem is established.
