Step 1: Replace all of the power sources except one. Replace voltage sources with a short circuit (wire) and current sources with an open circuit (break). Step 2: Calculate the voltages and currents due to each individual source. Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each power supply.

What is the superposition theorem formula?
The total current in any part of a linear circuit equals the algebraic sum of the currents produced by each source separately.
What is superposition theorem simple?
The superposition theorem states that a circuit with multiple voltage and current sources is equal to the sum of simplified circuits using just one of the sources.
What is superposition theorem example?
Example. Find the current flowing through 20 Ω resistor of the following circuit using superposition theorem. Step 1 − Let us find the current flowing through 20 Ω resistor by considering only 20 V voltage source. In this case, we can eliminate the 4 A current source by making open circuit of it.
