Current passing through 3ohm resistor is

A)14/3 A

B) 3A

C) 2A

D) 12/5A

Thesuperposition theoremstates that in a linear circuit with several sources, the current and voltage for any element in the circuit is the sum of the currents and voltages produced by each source acting independently.

To calculate the contribution of each source independently, all the other sources must be removed and replaced without affecting the final result. When removing a voltage source, its voltage must be set to zero, which is equivalent to replacing the voltage source with a short circuit. When removing a current source, its current must be set to zero, which is equivalent to replacing the current source with an open circuit.

When you sum the contributions from the sources, you should be careful to take their signs into account. It is best to assign a reference direction to each unknown quantity, if it is not already given.

Please calculate using superposition theorem

Dear studentThe above ans has no relation with question.Apply superposition theorem I1 (when 4v is short) = 10/3 ohm , because 2 ohm will be short circuited.I2 (when 10v is short) = 4/(6/5) , because 2 and 3 ohm will come in parallel. I1 + I2 = 10/3 + 10/3 = 20/3 AThanks and regards
