Engineering Superposition and electronic circuits

AI Thread Summary
To find the voltage across points BD in the circuit, it's essential to apply superposition by shorting current sources and opening voltage sources. After analyzing the circuit, a source current of 10.08 mA and a voltage drop of 2.02V across a 200-ohm resistor were calculated. It's suggested to provide a complete drawing of the circuit for better assistance. The voltage V_BD can be determined by adding the voltage across the 300-ohm resistor to 3.71V using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL). Proper application of these techniques will lead to the correct solution.

The Attempt at a Solution


When I shorted one source I get the source current as 10.08mA and a voltage drop across the 200 ohm resistor of 2.02V.

I think your drawing is missing the current source? Be that as it may, REMEMBER: SHORT current sources and OPEN voltages sources. Do that, give us a complete drawing and show your work and we can help you if needed.
 
Ok, assuming that the circuit is correct, V_BD= V acrosss 300ohms + 3.71V. You need to find that voltage by using KVL.

Hope that helps.
