Observations The total response (voltage or current) is the sum of the responses contributed by each independent source separately. Superposition cannot be used for calculating POWER (not a linear quantity). Voltage source is turned off or deactivated by replacing it with a short circuit. Current source is turned off or deactivated by replacing it with an open circuit. Observations Dependent sources are left intact. The response due to each active source can be determined by using basic circuit analysis laws and techniques (Ohm’s, KVL, KCL, voltage and current divider, and series/parallel combinations.) Superposition for AC Circuits Usual procedures for DC circuits apply. However, phasor transformation must be carefully carried
