**Problem 8: Circuit Analysis using Superposition Theorem**

**Objective:** Compute the current through the 10 Ω resistor using the superposition theorem.

**Circuit Description:**

1. **Components:**
   - One 15 V voltage source.
   - Resistors: 
     - 15 Ω
     - 10 Ω
     - 30 Ω
   - One 5 A current source.

2. **Configuration:**
   - The 15 V voltage source is connected in series with the 15 Ω resistor.
   - The 10 Ω and 30 Ω resistors are parallel to each other but in series with the 15 Ω resistor.
   - The 5 A current source is connected parallel to the 30 Ω resistor.

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The circuit is configured in a mixed series-parallel arrangement.
- Starting from the left:
  - The 15 V voltage source is followed by the 15 Ω resistor.
  - Between the 15 Ω and 30 Ω resistors, there's a junction leading to the parallel 10 Ω resistor.
  - The 10 Ω resistor connects back to the main line after the 30 Ω resistor.
  - The 5 A current source is in parallel with the 30 Ω resistor.

**Task:**
- Use the superposition theorem to determine the current flowing through the 10 Ω resistor.
