Now, we will combine the effect of the two voltage
sources.
Current supplied by the 24 V source = 4 A
Current through branch AB = 4 A
Current supplied by the 12 V source = 2 A
Current through branch CB = 2 A
Current through branch BD = 4 + 2 = 6 A.
Example 5.2 Calculate the current through the 6 Ω
resistor shown in Figure 5.4 using superposition
theorem.
Solution: We will first consider the effect of voltage
source by open-circuiting the current source, as shown in
Figure 5.5.

Now, we will consider the effect of current source by short-
circuiting the voltage source, as shown in Figure 5.6.
