if so how do you use it?
I don't know how to solve circuits with 2 voltages.

The Superposition theorem problem is a method used to analyze complex electrical circuits. It states that the total response of a linear circuit is equal to the sum of the responses caused by each individual source acting alone, with all other sources turned off. This allows for simplification of circuit analysis by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable parts.
To apply the Superposition theorem, you must analyze the circuit with one source at a time, while all other sources are turned off or replaced with their respective internal resistances. Then, the individual responses are combined to find the overall response of the circuit. This process is repeated for each source in the circuit.
The Superposition theorem only applies to linear circuits, meaning that the circuit must have linear elements such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. It also assumes that the sources in the circuit are independent of each other, and that there are no dependent sources present.
Yes, the Superposition theorem can be used for circuits with multiple sources. However, it is important to note that the number of calculations required increases with the number of sources present, making it more time-consuming for complex circuits.
The Superposition theorem differs from other circuit analysis methods, such as Kirchhoff's laws and Thevenin's theorem, in that it breaks down the circuit into smaller parts and analyzes them individually. This can be advantageous for complex circuits with multiple sources, as it allows for easier analysis and understanding of the circuit's behavior.
