Superposition with a dependent current source

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a homework problem involving superposition with a dependent current source in PSpice. The user seeks confirmation on their solution and clarification on how to correctly implement a dependent current source, expressing confusion over the symbols used in PSpice. Participants question the relevance of the forum category, suggesting it may be better suited for engineering rather than calculus or physics. The concept of superposition is discussed, with an explanation that it involves the algebraic sum of individual voltages or currents from separate sources. Overall, the thread highlights challenges in understanding both the theoretical and practical aspects of the problem.

Homework Statement


I uploaded the assignment it is problem 2


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I really just want confirmation that my work is ok, and the command for a dependent current source in PSpice. The things that I found that are dependent, are very confusing looking things instead of diamonds. I have tried E and F but I don't know how to use them?

Is there a reason you posted this in Calculus & not physics?
 
Whoops can I move it to engineering

Hard to tell from your work.

tell me one thing: how did you employ superposition, in words, not in equations?
 
Sorry man I didn't even realize you answered well isn't superposition just the algebraic sum of Ll the individual voltages or currents caused by their separate sources which you find by cutting one of and solving without that source and do the same for the other
 
Hard. To write on the ole ipad sorry it autocorrects and I don't catch it sometimes.
