I tried to solve this problem via Superposition but I get the wrong answer. I only get the right answer when I use Loop Analysis. Why is that?
Any chance you can post the problem in a pdf? I gave this book away. Not that I'd be able to answer it, but I could take a look.I tried to solve this problem via Superposition but I get the wrong answer. I only get the right answer when I use Loop Analysis. Why is that?
I shorted each source seperately to get two seperate currents.Did you short the V source when you did superpositon? You must short V sources for superpositon. I worked it by superposition and got it right.
I'll try to get the superposition solution, but why in the world would you do it that way?I shorted each source seperately to get two seperate currents.
I used the voltage divider to get the voltage across the resistor for both instances.
I end up getting I1 = 1 A and I2= .5 A totalling 1.5 A (wrong).
could you post a step by step?
