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.
