Question

3. Now with your results, find each contribution to power absorbed by the 8K resistance(using I^2 R): Using (Ix')²R=___________Using (Ix")²R=__________. Then find power absorbed by the 8K resistance using your total result for lx: Using (Ix)²R=_________. Why doesn't superposition work for finding power absorbed by the resistance?
