Figure 1e : Fig. 1a circuit constructed in PSpice
The result of a time (transient) analysis so as to watch a few cycles of the sinus wave appears as in Fig. 1f.

current)
It is possible to apply superposition in Fig. 1e just by entering zero voltage value for either source instead of
replacing them with a short circuit:
