Homework Statement



^^^^ = resistor = 10 ohm
<> = 3*Vab Dependent voltage. (the voltage equals 3 times Vab)
0 = voltage source 4 v (inderpendant)
o = Inderpendant Current source 2 A



|--^^^^---<>---------a +
| + + - |
0 o Vab
| - |
|-----------------------b -

Question asks, Find Vab (the voltage across a and b) using superposition



Homework Equations


Well there's lots, ohms, KCL, KVL etc,


The Attempt at a Solution


I want to attempt it, but i don't no how to break this down, as all the examples in the txt book don't have the dependent votlage source, and in the examples they are solving for a voltage across a resistor.

Any ideas? thanks
ps i also uploaded the image just incase the one above didnt work once posted

What is the current through the 10 ohm resistor?
What are the voltages at the two ends of this resistor?
