24a - Solved Examples on Superposition Theorem (NEW)

In this video, the concept of superposition theorem is explained. Superposition theorem states that: In a linear network containing more than one source, the current through or voltage across any branch can be found by considering each source separately and adding their effects.
I = Ia + Ib, V = Va + Vb
short circuit voltage sources
open circuit current sources

    There is no particular trick. The idea is since the currents I8' and I8'' flow in the 8 ohm in two different directions, you can choose to make either of them positive or negative. But normally for me, I make current in moving to the left negative and that moving to the right positive.

  • @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn

    we could not do it straightaway because current division is applied to only two resistors at a time. So the best thing is to combine the resistors in the circuit first to obtain only two resistors before you divide the current among them.

  • @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn

    Жыл бұрын

    If they have different resistors different current values will flow through them, so you need to us current division. The deal is, even when the two resistors are the same or not we still use current division rule. Just that when two resistance have same value, half of the total current is what flows through them.

    We want to find the current in 8ohms, but since 8 is in series with 10, the current in 8 will be the same as the current in 10. Since current division is applied to two resistors at a time we need to combine 8 and 10 in series which is 18, before we divide the current amongst 18 and 6.

    You need to combine the two parallel resistors and add to the series resistor, that will be the total resistance. Then if you know the source voltage you can use voltage division to solve for the current in R1, meanwhile the approach also depends on the position of the resistor you are interested in

It can also be the other way round. It doesn't matter, provided the final current value is the same, disregarding whether it's positive or nagative
