Step 1:
\
Find the current through 100
resistor :
Super Position Theorem :
\Take one voltage source at a time and replace all other with short or internal resistance.
\
Indicate the direction of current in the above circuit.
\Equivalent resistance :
\100
resistor is in parallel with 40
resistor.

Resistance RT is in series with 60
resistor.

Step 2:
\Circuit current :
\
Current across each resistor :
\


Step 3:
\Now Short circuit the second voltage source.
\
Indicate the direction of current in the above circuit.
\Equivalent resistance :
\60
resistor is in parallel with 40
resistor.

Resistance RT is in series with 100
resistor.

Step 4:
\Circuit current :
\
Current across each resistor :
\


Step 5:
\Current through 100
resistor =
= Current produced by 100
resistor due to 80 V - Current produced by 100
resistor due to 50 V
(Since they are in opposite direction)
\= 0.645 - 0.161
\= 0.484
\Current through 100
resistor is 0.484 A.
Step 6:
\Power decipated at 100
:

Power decipated trough 100
resistor is 23.4 W.
