How is the circuit redrawn when applying the superposition theorem?
With all sources short-circuited, leaving only their internal resistances
How are the voltages and currents caused by each supply treated when applying the superposition theorem?
They are added together
What does the superposition theorem state in a network of linear resistances containing more than one generator?
The current at any point is the sum of all the currents from each generator considered separately
What is the purpose of short-circuiting the other supplies when applying the superposition theorem?
To reduce the resistance in the circuit
