    Superposition Theorem Verification

    • The experiment aims to verify the Superposition Theorem in a multi-source DC circuit.
    • The Superposition Theorem states that in a linear circuit (with multiple voltage sources), the current or voltage at any point can be calculated by considering each source individually while setting the other sources to zero (replacing them with their internal resistances).
    • The contributions from each source are then summed, taking into account their polarities, to find the total value.
    • The experiment uses a circuit with two voltage sources (E1 and E2), and three resistors (R1, R2, and R3).
    • To verify the theorem, each voltage source is considered separately, while the other source is replaced with its internal resistance (a short circuit).
    • Standard series-parallel techniques are used to calculate the voltage at node A for each individual source.
    • The voltage values obtained for each source are then recorded in a table to be subsequently summed to determine the total voltage at node A.
