Experiment No:2 VERIFICATION OF SUPERPOSITION THEOREM
Date :

Aim:
To verify Superposition theorem for the given circuit practically.

Apparatus Required:
Sl.No. Apparatus Range Quantity
1 RPS (regulated power supply) (0-30V) 2
2 Ammeter (0-10mA) MC 1
(0-30mA) MC
3 Resistors 1k Ω, 330 Ω, 1 each
220Ω
4 Bread Board -- 1
5 Wires -- Required

Theory:

Superposition theorem states that in a linear bilateral network containing more than
one source, the current flowing through the branch is equal to the algebraic sum of all
the currents flowing through that branch when sources are considered one at a time
and replacing other sources by their respective internal resistances.

Precautions:

1. Voltage control knob of RPS should be kept at minimum position


2. Current control knob of RPS should be kept at maximum position

Procedure:
1. Make the connections as per the diagram in Multisim.
2. Set a particular voltage value using RPS1 and RPS2 & note down the
ammeter reading.
3. Set the same voltage as in circuit 1 using RPS1 alone and disconnect
RPS2 and short circuit the terminals and note the ammeter reading.
4. Repeat the same procedure with RPS2 and note down the ammeter reading.
5. Verify superposition theorem.
