Superposition Theorem
The superposition theorem : for a linear system having more
than one independent source, the response (voltage or current) in
any branch equals to the algebraic sum of the responses caused
by each independent source acting alone, while all other
independent sources are removed.

Equivalent circuit
Any electrical circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit that
consists of an input resistance (𝑹𝒊𝒏 ), Gain (𝑨𝒗 ), and an output
resistance (𝑹𝒐𝒖𝒕 ).
