Linearity
 A linear circuit is one that contains only linear elements.
 Resistors, Voltage & Current sources, Inductors and
Capacitors are linear elements.
 An example of a nonlinear element is a lamp or a diode.
A diode allows current to flow freely in one direction, but
blocks the flow of current in the other.
 Power is not linear due to V2 or I2 !

Superposition
 What to do when there is more than one source in a
circuit?
 SUPERPOSITION - If a linear circuit is excited by more
than one independent source, then the total response is
simply the sum of the responses of the individual
sources.
 How do you temporarily remove sources?
Voltage source by a short circuit
Current sources by an open circuit
