Does any Independent source a Linear element?
As far as I know the linearity of any element is given by the superposition principle meaning if it satisfy the superposition principle therefore its a linear one
Meaning if $$f(x_{1})=y_{1}$$ and $$f(...

How to derive the output voltage expression for an op-amp circuit with a DC offset at the non-inverting input?
I'm analyzing the following op-amp circuit:
A sinusoidal voltage source connected through resistor \$R_1\$ to the
inverting input.
A feedback resistor \$R_f\$ from the output to the inverting input.
A ...

Do I consider the 50 Ω resistor on right side when 5 A is being open-circuited in superposition?
When I consider the 10 A as the source and change the 5 A to open circuit, is the 50 ohm resistor still being considered and become in series with the 100 ohm resistor?
Same with when I consider the 5 ...

Is AC/DC Analysis Just an Application of Superposition Theorem?
I’ve been diving into circuit analysis and came across a thought that I wanted to share and get your opinions on.
When performing AC and DC analysis in circuits, it seems to me that we’re essentially ...

How to find node voltage in this relatively simple DC circuit with all passive elements?
Below is an image of a circuit from an exam I took where we were instructed to calculate the voltage at the node Vx. Specifically we were instructed to use the method of superposition to find the ...

How to solve for \$v_0\$ in this circuit using superposition, and node-current method?
I'm probably missing something trivial but I'm banging my head over this problem for a few hours already.
I think what throws me off is the dependent current source behavior when we are shorting E2, ...

Using Kirchoff's Laws instead of The Superposition Theorem?
So my textbook introduced The Superposition Theorem, and, to me, applying a combination of Kirchoff's Current and Voltage Laws seems to simplify the process for solving for the current or voltage of ...
