28. For the circuit below, use superposition to determine the value of IS such that there is no
power being dissipated in resistor R2. (Hint: Use superposition to determine how VS1 and VS2
affect R2. Then use superposition to determine the value of IS that will exactly cancel the
effects of VS1 and VS2.)
