The given statement describes that in a linear bilateral network containing multiple sources, the overall current or voltage is the algebraic sum of the currents or voltages produced by each source separately when all other sources are inactive. This is a classic description of the Superposition Theorem.
The Superposition Theorem is fundamental in electrical engineering, particularly useful when analyzing circuits with multiple independent sources. It involves the following steps:
This theorem is applicable only to linear circuits, which maintain linearity proportions between input and output signals. Therefore, the correct answer for the given statement is the Superposition Theorem.
