1. Is the total response of the circuit when the two sources are activated (turned on) equal to the
total response of the circuit by adding the individual responses of the circuit? If not, cite
possible reason.
Indeed, when both sources are turned on, the circuit's overall response is the same as when
all of the individual answers are added together.
2. How do you combine the individual response of the circuit?
We may aggregate the different replies by computing the algebraic total of each answer in
the circuit.
3. To get the total response of the circuit with sources operating at different frequencies, can
you combine the individual responses of the circuit vectorially? Justify your answer.
Using the formula for calculating Frms, the various frequencies can be coupled with the
individual responses.

Interpretation
The AC circuit analysis with TinaPro confirms the
validity of Superposition, Thevenin, and Norton's
Theorems. Impedances replace resistances for phasor
sums. Superposition Theorem is examined in Table
5.1, where the simulated value of 208.57 mA is
compared to the calculated value of 213.37 mA using
a 5A RMS and a 10 VRMS source at 60 Hz.

The same circuit is tested at various frequencies, and


the composite function formula is used to determine
the total response with one source disabled. The
experimental result of 144.01 mA matches the
predicted values.

Table 5.2 involves a circuit with terminals a and b,


and simulated values for Thevenin's Equivalent
Voltage and Norton's Equivalent Current are obtained
with a voltmeter and an ammeter. VTH/IN is equal
to 102.273, which is used to determine Thevenin's
Equivalent Impedance. Using a 1k resistor at the
terminals, TinaPro is used to calculate the load
voltage and current, which are then cross-checked
with mesh and nodal analysis.

Conclusion
The total response of an AC circuit can be found by
adding up the individual responses when one source is
turned off, but this only works if all the sources have
the same frequency. If the frequencies are
different, we need a different formula to calculate
the total response.

To simplify a complex circuit, we can transform it into


a simple Thevenin equivalent circuit, which is
equivalent to a Norton equivalent circuit. The
Thevenin equivalent impedance is found by dividing the
Thevenin's equivalent voltage by the Norton's
equivalent current.

Mesh analysis is useful for circuits with many loops,


while nodal analysis is more appropriate for circuits
with many nodes.
