Thank you

Consider the circuit shown in Figure 2. Please use the superposition method to find the value of the current source current, \( I_a \).

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The circuit contains a current source labeled \( I_a \).
- There are three resistors in the circuit:
  - A 16Ω resistor on the left side connected in series with the current source.
  - A 20Ω resistor connected horizontally in series with the other components.
  - A 4Ω resistor on the top right connected in series parallel to the voltmeter.
- There is a 6V voltage source connected at the junction between the 16Ω and 4Ω resistors.
- A voltmeter is placed across the 4Ω resistor, reading 9V.

**Figure 2:**
The circuit layout as described above.
