QUESTION:

Find the average power absorbed by the 2-\(\Omega\) resistor in the circuit of Figure P 11.7-1.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

The total power absorbed by the  resistance is equal to the sum of absorbed power of every single source. So, we can apply the superposition principle. First, let's be voltage source active - open-circuit the current source, as shown in figure below.
