Homework Statement
Is the answer to the following circuit: 600 mA? I seem to be getting 660 mA for some reason.

Superposition is a principle in circuit analysis that states that the total response of a linear circuit with multiple sources is equal to the sum of the responses of each individual source acting alone.
Superposition allows us to simplify complex circuits by breaking them down into smaller, easier to analyze circuits. By analyzing each source individually and then combining the results, we can determine the overall behavior of the circuit.
Superposition can only be used for linear circuits, meaning that the components in the circuit must have a linear relationship between voltage and current. Additionally, it can only be used for circuits with independent sources, not dependent sources.
Yes, superposition can be used for both DC and AC circuits as long as the circuit is linear and has independent sources. However, it is important to note that superposition cannot be used to analyze the effects of nonlinear components, such as diodes or transistors.
Yes, there are other methods for circuit analysis, such as Kirchhoff's laws, Thevenin's theorem, and Norton's theorem. Each method has its own advantages and limitations, and it is important to choose the appropriate method for the specific circuit being analyzed.
