Click For Summary
When using the Superposition method to solve a circuit, independent current and voltage sources must be eliminated one at a time rather than all at once. For example, if a circuit has five independent voltage sources and five independent current sources, each source should be treated individually. This means that when analyzing the effect of one source, all others must be turned off—voltage sources are shorted, and current sources are opened. This approach ensures accurate results by isolating the contributions of each source. The Superposition method emphasizes the importance of analyzing circuits systematically for precise outcomes.

do you eliminate an independent current/voltage source one at a time or can you do all of them at once.

Let us say you have 5 independent voltage sources and 5 independent current sources. Do you short circuit 5 of those voltage sources and leave 5 independent current sources or do you have to do it one independent source at a time?

You have to do it one at a time, meaning only have one independent source operating at a time.

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
