Superposition Principle in Electrical Circuits
This engineering online CPD live webinar is on a fundamental law of linear electrical circuits. This law, known as “Superposition Principle” is used to split complex electrical circuits that contain multiple sources of energy into individual simpler circuits, each with only one source of energy turned on at a time. Once the quantity of interest (voltage across a component, or current through it) is found in each individual circuit, they are added up to find the quantity in the original circuit.
The webinar starts with a brief review of Ohm’s Law, series and parallel combination of resistors, as well as voltage and current divider equations. Each of these concepts are used in the application of the superposition principle. Following the review, superposition principle is explained in detail, before going over its application to several example circuits each including 2 or 3 independent sources of energy. Examples are worked out step-by-step and they clearly demonstrate the power of the superposition principle in analyzing circuits.
This 1 PDH live webinar is intended for anyone who is interested in learning about fundamental laws of electrical network theory.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with specific knowledge and skills needed to:
- Analyze DC circuits with multiple sources of energy using the superposition principle
- Use the parallel and series equivalent resistance in application of the superposition principle
- Use the voltage and current divider equation to speed up analysis of circuits
- Find current and voltage of any branch of circuits using the combination of the above concepts

Our PDH or CEU accredited webinars are developed and conducted by subject matter experts experienced in their field of practice. Our webinars are designed as live interactive web-conferences allowing you the opportunity to fully interact with the instructor at any time during the webinar from the convenience of your home, office or anywhere using your computer or mobile device.
If you register but cannot attend due to unforeseen circumstances, you must notify us in writing of your cancellation 72 hours in advance of the scheduled webinar date. You may reschedule to the same webinar or exchange it with another webinar of equal value, or you may request a refund provided that you notify us 72 hours in advance of the scheduled webinar date; otherwise, you will not be eligible for either a refund or an exchange. Whether you select to reschedule or exchange a webinar, you may do so only once.
If you cancel in less than 72 hours of the scheduled webinar date, you must notify us in writing 24 hours in advance prior to the webinar scheduled date. In this case, you will not be eligible for a refund, but you may reschedule to the same webinar or exchange it with another webinar of equal value provided that you notify us 24 hours in advance prior to the scheduled webinar date; otherwise, you will not be eligible for an exchange. Whether you select to reschedule or exchange a webinar, you may do so only once.
If you cancel in less than 24 hours of the scheduled webinar date, you will not be eligible for either a refund or an exchange.
If you have seven (7) or more engineers interested in attending the same webinar, we encourage you to enroll in our Group Webinar Program and purchase the one of interest to maximize your savings. Our webinars cover a variety of engineering and ethical topics and are presented by subject matter experts distinguished by their many years of practical engineering experience and academic standings.
