An RLC circuit is an example of a linear circuit. What principle, as a result of this linearity, can be applied to simplify analysis when multiple sources are present?
Explanation
Linearity is a key property of circuits made of resistors, capacitors, and inductors. This property allows the use of the superposition principle, where the total response to multiple sources is the sum of the responses to each source acting alone.
