Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Power calculation Explanation: The Superposition Theorem is not applicable for Power calculation because for power, the calculations involve either the product of voltage and current or the square of current or the square of the voltage thus making them non-linear operations. Hence they cannot be calculated using Superposition Theorem.
