Experiment 5
VERIFICATION OF SUPERPOSITION
THEOREM
Aim:
To verify the superposition theorem for the given circuit.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
Sl.No Name of the Apparatus Range Quantity
1. RPS (regulated power supply) (0-30V) 2
2. Ammeter (0-10mA) 1
3. Resistors 1k, 330, 220 3
4. Bread Board -- --
5. Wires -- Required
Statement:
Superposition theorem states that in a linear bilateral network containing more than one
source, the current flowing through the branch is the algebraic sum of the current flowing through
that branch when sources are considered one at a time and replacing other sources by their
respective internal resistances.
Precautions:
Procedure:
1. Give the connections as per the diagram.
2. Set a particular voltage value using RPS1 and RPS2 & note down the
ammeterreading
3. Set the same voltage in circuit I using RPS1 alone and short circuit the
terminalsand note the ammeter reading.
4. Set the same voltage in RPS2 alone as in circuit I and note down the
ammeterreading.
5. Verify superposition theorem
