Select the correct answer using the code given below: Correct Answer a, b, and d
Superposition theorem (SPT):
In any linear bilateral active network consists of a number of services (more than 1), resistance, etc. the effect produced in any element where all sources act at a time is equal to the sum of the effects produced in the same element due to each source considered individually.

For input: K1 x1 ; Output: K2 y1
For input: K2 x2 ; Output: K2 y2
For input: (K1x1 + k2x2); Output: (k1y1 + k2y2
Superposition Theorem obeys:
1) Linearity (ohm’s law)
2) Homogenity
3) Additivity
Example:
[ alt="F6 Shubham 26-10-2020 Swati D12" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/20/10/F6_Shubham_26-10-2020_Swati_D12.png" style="width: 397px; height: 153px;">
V2 is an AC source.
I = ‘I’ due to V1 + ‘I’ due to V2 + ‘I’ due to I1’.
NOTE:
- While applying the superposition theorem, each subcircuit has only one independent source.
- The remaining sources should be replaced with their internal resistance.
- Voltage source internal resistance is zero (short)
- The current source internal resistance is infinity (open)
Conclusion:
Superposition theorem is applicable for DC and AC sources. Hence statement ‘3’ is false. The
remaining all are true.
