Question
Employ superposition to determine the current labelled i in the circuit of Fig.1.
Express the contribution the 2 V source makes to the total current i in terms of a
percentage. Changing only the value of the 6 A source, adjust the circuit of Fig.1 so
that the two sources contribute equally to the current i. Explain your answer and the
adjustments you made using convincing arguments. Finally, write a short paragraph
explaining in which occasions (circuits) the use of the superposition technique is
more recommended, compared to other techniques.
