Question

“A linear bilateral network containing several sources... the algebraic sum of the currents or voltages of each individual source considered separately with all others made inoperative” is according to:

• A. Maximum power transfer theorem
• B. Superposition theorem
• C. Millman’s theorem
• D. Reciprocity theorem

Hint:

Superposition theorem: solve one source at a time, then add effects linearly. Valid only for linear circuits.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Superposition theorem states that in a linear circuit with multiple sources, the response in any element is the sum of the responses caused by each source acting alone, with all other sources turned off (voltage sources replaced by short circuits and current sources by open circuits).
