(b) Find out the current or voltage across the required element, due to the source under consideration. (c) Open all current sources, if the internal impedance is not known. If known replace them by their impedances. (d) Add all the individual effects produced by individual sources to obtain the total current in or across the voltage element. Code : Correct Answer (a), (c), (b), (d)

Concept:

Superposition Theorem states that the response in any element of a linear, bilateral RLC network containing more than one independent voltage or current source is the algebraic sum of responses produced by the independent source when each of them is acting alone with:

(i) All other independent voltage sources short-circuited

(ii) All independent current sources open-circuited.

(iii) All the dependent voltage and current sources remaining as it is, i.e. they are neither SC nor OC.

Note: If the internal resistance of the independent voltage or current sources is known then it is replaced by the internal resistance while short-circuiting or open circuiting.

Conclusion:

3 steps to solve circuits using superposition can be generalized:

1) Select any one source and short circuit all the other voltage sources.

2) Open all other current sources. If internal impedances are known then replace them by internal impedances.

3) Find out the current or voltage across the required element due to the source under consideration.

4) Finally, add all the individual effects produced by individual sources to obtain the total effect net effect.

Important Point: Superposition Theorem is not applicable in evaluating the power as it has a non-linear relationship.

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives. By practicing mindfulness and other principles, we become more aware of and present to our fears and others fears, bearing witness as a way of healing andempowering. We see the spiritual path as intertwined with the path of social action, with contemplation and action parts of the same whole, each nourishing andguiding the other. Acknowledging that our well-being depends on others makes caring for others well-being a moral responsibility.
Through a “mindful citizen” exercise, we create a story articulating who we are as individuals who are also part of communities. This exercise helps us move beyond cynicism, complacency, and despair, instead infusing us with a sense of purpose. We embrace our gifts, resolving to do our part to promote a sense of common humanity as a means toward social justice.
With this exercise, I believe we can help students bridge their divides and replace anger and distrust with compassionate connections – just as I witnessed betweenShirley and Tiffany.
Shirley returned to class after a brief hiatus, keeping a cool distance from Tiffany. But over the weeks spent together they gradually came to know each other. They practiced seeing and listening, sharing stories so different that they felt bewildered as to how they could overcome the gap. But they found that acknowledging their differences led them to discover a place of deep connection in commonalities, such as being raised by grandmothers, and even wounds, including childhood trauma,that they never imagined existed.
In assessments of these classes, students say that these small groups become “healing communities,” where we overcome victimization and claim agency. Healingoccurs as we transcend an “us vs. them” mentality, crossing borders and forging connections. These communities show a way of reducing intergroup prejudice andfostering inclusion based in psychology research and pedagogical practice. How students can replace their anger and distrust?
