The objective of superposition theorem is to find the affect of voltage & current sources
across load resistance by short circuiting the voltage source and opening the current
source. This experiment will allow the experimental verification of the theoretical
analysis.
PROCEDURE:
We connected three resistors R1, R2 & RL and two voltage sources. By switching on
both the sources we note down the value of V L across RL. Then switched off voltage
source V1 and note the value VL1 across RL then switched off voltage source V2 and
note the value VL2. Such that VL = VL1 + VL2.

CONCLUSION:
In this experiment we verified the superposition theorem and concluded that the circuit
becomes simplified and we can easily make calculations by determine the individual
source effect.
