Network Theorems:-
1- Superposition Theorem:-
In any circuit network contain more than one sources ( voltage or
current ) to find the current ( or voltage ) in a certain part of a network , remove
the sources of the network and find the current ( or voltage ) in the existence of
only one source each time. The resultant current ( or voltage ) will be the
algebraic sum of current ( or voltage ) due to all sources when acting
independently once a time .
(Removing the sources means:- Short circuiting the voltage source and open
circuiting the current source) .
Example 1:- In the following circuit diagram, find all branch current's using
superposition theorem:-
3Ω
6Ω
7Ω
25V
