MCQ Practice Question

For a linear circuit containing several independent sources, superposition is applied to calculate?

  • AVoltages and currents, not power directly
  • BPower directly by adding individual source powers at an element
  • CEquivalent resistance only
  • DFrequency only
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Voltages and currents, not power directly
Explanation: Superposition applies to linear response quantities such as voltage and current. Power is nonlinear in voltage/current and cannot generally be superposed directly.
