| Apr 22, 2020 at 8:57 | comment | added | Verbal Kint | Superposition implies that you identify the independent sources in the circuit (6 V and the 4-mA current source) and alternately turn them off to determine \$I_0\$: turn the 6 V off (replace it by a short circuit) while the 4-mA I-source is alive: determine \$I_{01}\$ in this mode. Then bring the 6-V source back on and turn the 4-mA off (open circuit it) and determine \$I_{02}\$. The current you want is simply \$I_0=I_{01}+I_{02}\$. I like superposition because it often leads to simple intermediate circuits you can solve by inspection only (no equation). | |
