Step 1:
\Find the current through 100 resistor :
Super Position Theorem :
\Take one voltage source at a time and replace all other with short or internal resistance.
\Indicate the direction of current in the above circuit.
\Equivalent resistance :
\100 resistor is in parallel with 40
resistor.
Resistance RT is in series with 60 resistor.
Step 2:
\Circuit current :
\Current across each resistor :
\Step 3:
\Now Short circuit the second voltage source.
\Indicate the direction of current in the above circuit.
\Equivalent resistance :
\60 resistor is in parallel with 40
resistor.
Resistance RT is in series with 100 resistor.
Step 4:
\Circuit current :
\Current across each resistor :
\Step 5:
\Current through 100 resistor =
= Current produced by 100 resistor due to 80 V - Current produced by 100
resistor due to 50 V
(Since they are in opposite direction)
\= 0.645 - 0.161
\= 0.484
\Current through 100 resistor is 0.484 A.
Step 6:
\Power decipated at 100 :
Power decipated trough 100 resistor is 23.4 W.
