:Law 1
The sum of the voltage drops around a closed loop is equal to the sum of
(the voltage sources of that loop (Kirchhoff's Voltage Law
:Law 2
The current arriving at any junction point in a circuit is equal to the
(current leaving that junction (Kirchhoff's Current Law
:superposition theorem
The superposition theorem states 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
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. The total voltage or
current is calculated as the algebraic sum of the contributions from the
sources. If a contribution from a source has the same direction as the
reference direction, it has a positive sign in the sum; if it has the opposite
.direction, then a negative sign
Note that If the voltage or current sources have internal resistance, it must
remain in the circuit and still be considered. In TINA, you can assign an
internal resistance to the DC voltage and current sources, while using the
same schematic symbol. Therefore, if you want to illustrate the
superposition theorem and at the same time use sources with internal
resistance, you should only set the source voltage (or current) to zero,
which leaves the source internal resistance intact. Alternatively, you
.could replace the source with a resistor equal to its internal resistance
