### Problem Statement

Use superposition to find the current \( i_0 \) in the following circuit. Calculate the power delivered to the 4-\(\Omega\) resistor.

### Circuit Description

The circuit is composed of the following components:

- A 20V voltage source connected in series with a 1-\(\Omega\) resistor.
- A 3-\(\Omega\) resistor in series following the 1-\(\Omega\) resistor.
- A parallel branch containing a 4-\(\Omega\) resistor and a 2A current source.
- Following this branch, there is a 12-\(\Omega\) resistor in series.
- After the 12-\(\Omega\) resistor, the circuit splits into two branches:
  - One branch contains an 8-\(\Omega\) resistor.
  - The second branch contains a 3A current source in parallel with a 3-\(\Omega\) resistor.

### Task

1. **Apply Superposition Theorem:**
   - Analyze the circuit considering one independent source at a time while replacing all other independent voltage sources with short circuits and all other independent current sources with open circuits.
   - Calculate the individual contributions of each source to the current \( i_0 \) through the 4-\(\Omega\) resistor.

2. **Power Calculation:**
   - Once \( i_0 \) is determined, use the formula for power (\( P = I^2 R \)) to find the power delivered to the 4-\(\Omega\) resistor.

This exercise helps develop the understanding of superposition in circuits and demonstrates the calculation of power across specific components.
