"In any network containing more than one sources of e.m.f. the current in any branch is the algebraic sum of a number of individual fictitious currents (the number being equal to the number of sources of e.m.f.), each of which is due to separate action of each source of e.m.f., taken in order, when the remaining sources of e.m.f. are replaced by conductors, the resistances of which are equal to the internal resistances of the respective sources". The above statement is associated with:
Correct answer: C. Superposition theorem
- A. Thevenin's theorem
- B. Norton's theorem
- C. Superposition theorem
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Superposition theorem states that the response in any branch of a linear network equals the algebraic sum of responses produced by each independent source acting alone. The other voltage sources are short-circuited and current sources are open-circuited, while their internal resistances are retained.
