Superposition Principle in Electrical Circuits
This live PDH 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

Once you have decided on a webinar or multiple webinars, click on “Add to Cart”. At this point, you will need to log in to your account, or register if you don’t have one yet, to complete your purchase. (The Log in/Register links are located at the top right corner of the computer screen.) Following purchase, you will immediately receive two emails: one confirming your registration with a receipt of webinar purchase and the other providing you with instructions on webinar access and completion. Subsequently, you will also receive reminder emails with the same instructions 24 hours as well as 2 hours prior to your scheduled webinar. You can also download these instructions from your account at anytime.
We recommend that you register for any webinar ahead of time, although you can still register online up to the start time of the webinar. If you need any assistance with last minute webinar registrations, please contact us at 877-322-5800.
From the webinar access and completion instructions that you receive, you will be provided with a link to access the webinar platform from your computer to view the pesentation as well as listen to and interact with the instructor. Therefore, to get connected, you will need a computer with high-speed internet as well as microphone and speaker capabilities. We recommend using a headset connected to your computer for enhanced audio quality.
Alternatively, if your computer is not equipped with a microphone and speakers, you need to dial in using a phone line. From the webinar access and completion instructions, you will be also provided with a dial-in number to join the webinar and listen in. Furthermore, you will be provided with a link to download the webinar handout, or you can download it directly from you account, in the event you are unable to view the webinar on your computer screen.
Regardless of the connection method used, you will have the opportunity to interact with the instructor at the appropriate times either way. We recommend that you connect to the webinar approximately 10 to 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.
Following attending the webinar, you need to return to the CEDengineering.com website and log in to your account to complete and submit the feedback form. Once submitted, we will email you your Certificate of Completion. You can also download it instantly, or at anytime, from your account where all your PDH records are kept for your convenience at all times.
CEDengineering.com live interactive webinars are accepted for PDH or CEU credit by all State Licensing Boards (including IA, NE, OH and WI) mandating continuing professional competency, as they are prepared in compliance with the requirements of all State Licensing Boards. For additional details, please refer to your State Requirements.
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.
