ENEE 305 Lab 6

Lab 6 focuses on the superposition theorem in electric networks, allowing the determination of voltage or current by considering one source at a time. The objective is to verify this principle using two DC power sources, a multimeter, and assorted resistors. The procedure involves constructing a circuit, measuring voltages and currents with different sources activated, and recording the results to analyze the superposition principle.

Lab 6: Superposition Theorem

I. Introduction
If there is more than one source in an electric network, the response (voltage or current) can be determined
by considering one source at a time. The total response is the algebraic sum of the individual responses.
This is known as the superposition principle. While determining the responses with a particular source, all
other sources must be deactivated (voltage sources replaced by short circuits and current sources replaced
by open circuits).

II. Objective :
- To verify the superposition principle.

III. Materials
- Two DC power sources, One Multimeter, and Assorted resistors.

IV. Procedure
1 Construct the circuit in Figure 1 on Multisim Electronics Workbench. Put the multimeters in the
appropriate places to read voltages across and currents through each resistor.
2 Note the current directions and voltage polarities shown in Figure 1.
3 Measure VBC and IR2 and record them in Table 1.
4 Remove the 7.5 V source from the circuit. Replace it with a short circuit.
5 Run the simulation. Measure the voltages and currents and record them in Table 2.
6 Put the 7.5 V source back into the circuit. Remove the 10 V source and replace it with a short
circuit.
7 Run the simulation. Record all the voltages and currents in Table 3.
