Engineering Electric Circuits problem - Superposition

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on solving an electric circuits problem using the superposition principle to find output voltage (Vo) and output current (Io). The initial attempts yielded Vo values of 8V and 2V when isolating the independent voltage and current sources, respectively, leading to a combined Vo of 10V. However, the correct answer is 17.99V, with Io calculated at 1.799A. Participants emphasize the need for detailed calculations, particularly regarding the impact of the 6A current source when the 30V source is suppressed. The original poster plans to upload their final solution and mark the topic as resolved.

Homework Statement



The problemas statement is:
"Find Vo and Io by the superposition principle"

Homework Equations


Nodal Analysis and The Superposition Theorem.

The Attempt at a Solution


So, I tried to shutdown first the independent 30V tension font. It led me to Vo = 8V.
Then, turning off the 6A current font, led me to Vo = 2V.
So the final Vo will be equation the sum of the two others: 10V.

The correct anwser is 17,99V(so, Io = 1,799A).
Thank you!

You'll have to show some more details about your attempt, particularly the part concerning the 6 A source operating alone (that is, when the 30 V source is suppressed). Show your work.
