In order for current to flow in a resistor, you have to have a voltage across it. But if you short circuit a voltage source that is in parallel with it, then there is no way for a voltage to develop across the resistor. The key is to understand that replacing a voltage source with a short circuit, and a current source with an open circuit, is just a convenient way of setting the output of each type of source to zero in order to turn it "off". So a voltage source set to 0V output will produce or accept whatever current is required in order to maintain 0V across it.for question 1...
(a) superposition
when i open only one source that is current source ( 10mA) and voltage source will be short circuit. im confusing whether current can flow at 4k ohm ... can u explain more detail about it. tq
