EECE2051C Network Analysis Laboratory #3: Linearity and Superposition Objectives 1.
Apply the principles of Superposition to a circuit with multiple voltage sources to determine the voltage level on a specific element. 2.
Determine the impact on the voltage of a specific element as a result of increasing or decreasing the voltage of a source by applying Linearity. Pre-Laboratory: to be completed before coming to the laboratory 1. Consider the circuit shown in Figure 1. Apply the principle of superposition to determine the voltage and current on the 560
Ω
resistor (R2) due to each source and the sources in combination, then record your results in Table 2 in the Calculated row on the next page. Figure 1 Calculations: 2. Simulate the circuit with MultiSim. Use MultiSim DMMs to measure the voltage and current on the 560
Ω
resistor. Print a screenshot showing these values on the DMMs with only the 5V source, only the 3.5V source, and with both sources (note: you can set the voltage to 0V to turn off a source instead of deleting it from the circuit). Attach your screenshots to this laboratory sheet when you hand it in and record the values in Table 2 in the Simulated row on the next page.

What are possible causes for any noticeable differences? 2. Based on your measured values, do the principles of Linearity and Superposition work on real-life circuits?

(i) whether an active or passive sign convention is being used for that element,
(ii) whether that element is absorbing or producing a net (positive) amount of electrical power.

2. A bank of nickel-cadmium cells is used as the emergency lighting supply for a hospital. There are 100 cells connected in series and each has an A-hr rating of 120 A-hr. The bank has to be replaced, and the manufacturer is no longer supplying nickel-cadmium cells. It is decided to replace the cells with lead-acid cells. How many lead-acid cells will be required if each has an A-hr rating of 60 A-hr, and how should they be connected?

2. You are employed in a large industrial plant. A 480-V, 5000-W heater is used to melt lead in a large tank. It has been decided that the heater is not sufficient to raise the temperature of the lead to the desired level. A second 5000-W heater is to be installed on the same circuit. What will be the circuit current after installation of the second heater, and what is the minimum size circuit breaker that can be used if this is a continuous-duty circuit?
