     Halving voltage must halve current (or at least halve it relative to a base current / voltage).
+
+### Superposition
+
+In linear circuits, the superposition principle states that the voltage/current through an element is equal to the sum of the voltages/currents from each independent source alone.
+
+$$
+v=\sum v_x \\
+i=\sum i_x
+$$
+
+To do so, each unused independent source should be replaced with a short circuit (voltage) or an open circuit (current).
