Circuit with current
source set to zero(OPEN)
Circuit with voltage source
set to zero (SHORT CIRCUITED)
SOURCE SUPERPOSITION
=
+
The approach will be useful if solving the two circuits is simpler, or more convenient, than
solving a circuit with two sources
Due to the linearity of the models we must have
Principle of Source Superposition
We can have any combination of sources. And we can partition any way we find convenient
