CHAPTER 3 Superposition Analysis

This document contains information about an advanced electronics circuit theory course, including: - The course covers topics like circuit theory, alternating current circuit analysis, principles of measurement, and instrumentation. - It is divided into two parts: circuit theory and instrumentation/measurements. Circuit theory includes concepts like nodal analysis, mesh current analysis, and the superposition theorem. - The superposition theorem states that the current or voltage in a linear circuit with multiple sources can be found by calculating the contribution of each source individually while shorting out or opening the other sources.

Circuit Theory
(Superposition principle)
Circuit Theory (Superposition principle)

 In the linear circuit with voltage sources,


mesh currents are linear functions of mesh
EMFs.

 The current in any mesh, containing more


then one EMF, is an algebraic sum of mesh
currents, caused by each EMF acting alone.

 This rule is called superposition principle.


Superposition Theorem

 In a circuit having more than one independent


source, we can consider the effects of the
sources one at a time.
 If a circuit has n independent sources, then we
will have to solve n separate circuits.
 As we consider the effect of each source by
itself, we must “turn off” (deactivate) all of the
other sources.
 Deactivation means setting the values to zero.
Superposition Theorem

The voltage across or current through


an element in a linear circuit with
multiple independent sources can be
determined as
 the algebraic sum of such voltages
or currents due to each source
acting alone one at a time.
The principle of superposition helps us to
analyze a linear circuit with more than one
independent source by
 calculating the contribution of each
independent source separately.

How to Apply Superposition

 To find the contribution due to an individual


independent source, zero out the other independent
sources in the circuit
 Voltage source  short circuit
 Current source  open circuit
 Solve the resulting circuit using your favorite
technique(s)

Example 1
Use the superposition theorem to find the current and
voltage in the circuit shown below using superposition
theorem.
Exercise 1
Use the superposition theorem to find the current and
voltage in the circuit shown below using superposition
theorem.

Ans: I(1K) = 2.64 mA entering I(4.7K) = 1.57 mA leaving


I(2.2K) = 1.07 mA leaving
+

I1(1K) =10V/RT x 2K/(1K+2K) I2(1K) =5V/RT x 5K/(5K+1K)


= 10/(5K+1K//2K) x (2K/3K) = 10/(2K+1K//5K) x (5K/6K)
= ? mA = ? mA

I(1K) = I1(1K) + I2(1K) = mA


Superposition Theorem
Exercise 1
