CSE209 Lab 5

This document summarizes an experiment to verify the superposition theorem for electrical circuits. The objectives were to verify the theorem theoretically, experimentally, and using PSpice simulation. Circuit diagrams and an experimental datasheet presented measurements of current with individual sources active (IL1, IL2, IL3) and all sources active (IL). Calculations and PSpice simulations confirmed that IL = IL1 + IL2 + IL3, verifying superposition. Comparisons found the measured, calculated, and simulated currents agreed, with no discrepancies. The experiment successfully verified superposition theoretically, experimentally, and in simulation.

Answer to the Post-Lab Questions

𝑅1 = 33.05𝛺 𝑅2 = 47𝛺 𝑅3 = 32.8𝛺 𝑅4 = 46.9𝛺 𝑅5 = 47𝛺 𝑅𝐿 = 68𝛺

All sources active:


KVL in mesh 1, 112.85𝑖1 − 32.8𝑖2 = 5 … … … (1)

KVL in mesh 2, −32.8𝑖1 + 126.7𝑖2 − 47𝑖3 = 9.9 … … … (2)

KVL in mesh 3, −47𝑖2 + 115𝑖3 = −5 … … … (3)

From equations (1) (2) and (3),

𝑖3 = 𝐼𝐿 = −4.636 𝑚𝐴

𝑬𝟏 active:

KVL in mesh 2, −32.8𝑖1 + 126.7𝑖2 − 47𝑖3 = 0 … … … (2)

KVL in mesh 3, −47𝑖2 + 115𝑖3 = 0 … … … (3)

From equations (1) (2) and (3),

𝑖3 = 𝐼𝐿1 = 12.126 𝑚𝐴

𝑬𝟐 active:

KVL in mesh 2, −32.8𝑖1 + 126.7𝑖2 − 47𝑖3 = 4.9 … … … (2)

KVL in mesh 3, −47𝑖2 + 115𝑖3 = 0 … … … (3)

From equations (1) (2) and (3),

𝑖3 = 𝐼𝐿2 = 14.504 𝑚𝐴

𝑬𝟑 active:

KVL in mesh 1, 112.85𝑖1 − 32.8𝑖2 = 0 … … … (1)

KVL in mesh 2, −32.8𝑖1 + 126.7𝑖2 − 47𝑖3 = 5 … … … (2)

KVL in mesh 3, −47𝑖2 + 115𝑖3 = −5 … … … (3)

From equations (1) (2) and (3),

𝑖3 = 𝐼𝐿3 = −31.14 𝑚𝐴

Here,

𝐼𝐿 = −4.636 𝑚𝐴
𝐼𝐿1 + 𝐼𝐿2 + 𝐼𝐿3 = −4.536 𝑚𝐴

According to superposition theorem,

𝐼𝐿 = 𝐼𝐿1 + 𝐼𝐿2 + 𝐼𝐿3


Therefore, this is shown that the superposition theorem holds.
Comparing the calculated values of currents with the experimental values:
Measured Calculated Measured Calculated Measured Calculated Measured Calculated
value of value of 𝐼𝐿 value of value of value of value of value of value of
𝐼𝐿 with all with all 𝐼𝐿1 with 𝐼𝐿1 with 𝐼𝐿2 with 𝐼𝐿2 with 𝐼𝐿3 with 𝐼𝐿3 with

-4.2 -4.636 12.1 12.126 14 14.504 -30.8 -31.14

This comparison shows that the calculated values of currents and the experimental values of currents
are almost same. So, we can say that there is no discrepancy.

PSpice circuits with only currents:

Figure 1. Circuit with all sources active. Figure 2. Circuit with 𝐸1 source active.

Figure 3. Circuit with 𝐸2 source active. Figure 4. Circuit with 𝐸3 source active.
From the PSpice circuits we found,

In Figure 1, 𝐼𝐿 = −4.515 𝑚𝐴

In Figure 1, 𝐼𝐿1 = 12.16𝑚𝐴

In Figure 1, 𝐼𝐿2 = 14.44 𝑚𝐴

In Figure 1, 𝐼𝐿3 = −31.17 𝑚𝐴

𝐼𝐿1 + 𝐼𝐿2 + 𝐼𝐿3 = −4.57 𝑚𝐴 = 𝐼𝐿


From the PSpice solution it is shown that the superposition theorem holds.

Comparing the PSpice solutions of currents with the theoretical solutions:

-4.515 -4.636 12.16 12.126 14.44 14.504 -31.17 -31.14

By comparing we see that the PSpice solutions of currents with the theoretical solutions are almost
same and both solutions hold the superposition theorem. Therefore, there is no discrepancies
between the PSpice solutions of currents with the theoretical solutions.

Conclusion:
After the experiment we verified and showed that the superposition theorem theoretically,
experimentally, and using PSpice simulation. While comparing the measured, PSpice solutions,
and theoretical values of 𝐼𝐿 , 𝐼𝐿1, 𝐼𝐿2 , 𝐼𝐿3 by applied the superposition theorem we gained our
knowledge practically.
