QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS: (ANSWERS)
1. What does a negative response in a superposition imply?
A negative response in a superposition implies that the assumed
direction of the current or the polarity of the voltage is incorrect. To
correct this, simply change the current’s direction or the polarity of the
voltage.

2. How many responses are obtained from an N number of


independent sources present in a given circuit?
There are no responses obtained from a number of independent
sources present in a given circuit. Responses are any parameter like
resistance, voltage, or current. Thus, the number of responses can be
obtained with the number of constant parameters in the circuit since
they are directly proportional to each other.

3. Is it possible to eliminate dependent sources on superposition?


No, it is not possible to eliminate dependent sources on
superposition theorem however all sources except dependent sources
can be eliminated.

4. What are the possible limitations of the superposition


theorem?
The possible limitations of the superposition theorem are it can
be applied only to linear circuits, it can be applied only to voltage and
current, and it cannot be used to solve for the total power dissipated
by an element.

SET-UP:
As shown in Figure 4.1, we were given a Circuit 1 trainer kit (EECE471-
2 and EEC470), Circuit 1 trainer power supply (Feedback Power supply
PS445), Analog DC ammeter (100mA) and electronic voltmeter.

Fig. 4.1: The materials used in Experiment 2.

As instructed, we measure the resistances of R 1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 and


connect the resistances in the circuit as shown in Figure 4.2.

Fig. 4.2: The schematic diagram when the 15 V & 5 V DC sources are
ON.
After which, we connect the power supply unit to the main power
supply line. We ensure that the output voltages of the power supply is set
and adjusted to 15 V DC for Voltage Source 1 and 5 V for Voltage Source 2
then we connect the supply to the circuit.

Fig. 4.3: The actual set-up when the 15 V and 5 V DC sources are ON.

After gathering the data, we remove the 5 V DC Source by shorting the


terminals in the circuit as shown in Figure 4.4.

Fig. 4.4: The actual set-up when the 15 V DC source is ON.

We placed the 5 V DC source again and remove the 15 DC source as


shown in Figure 4.5.
Fig. 4.5: The actual set-up when the 5 V DC source is ON.

To prove that the measured data are all correct, we simulate the circuit
diagrams using Tina Pro. As shown in Figure 4.6, the measured values and
the simulated values obtained in 15V and 5V DC source are similar to one
another.

Fig. 4.6: The simulation when the 15 V and 5 V DC sources are ON.

Also, as shown in Figure 4.7, the measured values and the simulated
values obtained only in 15 V DC source are similar.

Lastly, as shown in Figure 4.8, the measured values and the simulated
obtained only in 5 V DC source are alike.
