Question

In the following circuit use superposition and calculate Vx.  . Solve it by superposition. 

This diagram represents an electric circuit containing various components:

1. **Resistors**:
   - A 6-ohm (Ω) resistor is located on the left side of the circuit.
   - A 2-ohm (Ω) resistor is positioned on the right side, in series with a dependent voltage source.

2. **Voltage Sources**:
   - A dependent voltage source labeled \( 2V_x \) is depicted with a diamond shape, indicating it provides voltage proportional to another variable in the circuit (in this case, \( V_x \)).
   - An independent 12-volt (V) voltage source is placed vertically in the center of the circuit.

3. **Current Source**:
   - A 4-amp (A) independent current source is located at the bottom of the circuit, directing current counter-clockwise.

4. **Dependent Voltage Variable**:
   - The voltage \( V_x \) is across the 2-ohm resistor on the right, indicated by "+ \( V_x \) -".

This schematic is an example of a complex circuit with dependent and independent sources, suitable for analysis using techniques such as mesh or nodal analysis to determine current and voltage across various components.
