In any linear resistive network, the voltage across or the current through any resistor or source may be calculated by adding algebraically all the individual voltages or currents caused by the separate independent sources acting alone, with all other independent voltage sources replaced by short circuits and all other independent current sources replaced by open circuits. Which one of the following theorems states the above definition?
A. Maximum power transfer theorem
B. Superposition theorem
C. Maxwell’s theorem
D. Source transformation theorem
