Superposition

Superposition

Superposition states that "any branch of a bilateral linear circuit having more than one independent source equals the algebraic sum of the responses caused by each independent source acting alone, while all other independent sources are replaced by their internal impedances."<ref> Wikipedia - Superposition </ref>

• Superposition allows us to analyze how each input source impacts the output.
• While building and debugging circuits, this is an invaluable tool. You can run through your circuit step-by-step to determine where your problems occurred.

Questions

• What are the internal impedances of voltage and current sources?
• Should I rephrase Wikipedia into more layman terms?
