Question
**Using Superposition to Find \( i_x \)**

The circuit diagram above requires the use of the superposition principle to find the current \( i_x \). In this circuit, there are three sources:

1. A 20V voltage source on the left side of the circuit.
2. A 3A current source in the middle of the circuit.
3. A dependent voltage source \( 1i_x \) on the right side.

The resistors in the circuit are labeled as follows:
- A 4Ω resistor is connected next to the 20V voltage source.
- A 2Ω resistor is placed in the branch with the dependent voltage source.

**Explanation:**

- **Superposition Principle**: This principle involves solving the circuit multiple times, each time with only one source active (all others replaced by their internal impedances). The final current \( i_x \) is the algebraic sum of the currents produced by each source acting independently.

- **Steps for Analysis**:
  1. **Deactivate all but one source:**
     - For the voltage source, short circuit it.
     - For the current source, open circuit it.
  2. **Calculate the resulting \( i_x \) for each scenario.**
  3. **Sum the contributions from each scenario to determine the total \( i_x \).**

This approach helps in understanding the individual contribution of each source and the interplay between different circuit elements.
