5.7 Principle of  Superposition

Previous:  Problem 5.14 (Part b.)

               Let  be solution to problem (1) and be solution to problem (2).  Then for infinitessimal field the solution of problem (3) is

This is called principle of superposition. Hence complex problem can be split into a number of simple problem with known solution and the solutions added.
