Question
Find the current of the 2 ohm resistor?
**Circuit Diagram Description:**

The diagram displays an electrical circuit consisting of several components:

- **Current Sources:**
  - One current source provides 9A flowing to the right.
  - Another current source provides 3A flowing upwards.

- **Resistors:**
  - A 4Ω resistor is in series with the 9A current source.
  - A 2Ω resistor is placed in the circuit, positioned above a 4Ω resistor and below a 5Ω resistor.
  - Another 4Ω resistor is parallel to the upper 2Ω resistor.
  - A 5Ω resistor is between the 2Ω resistor and a 100Ω resistor.
  - A 100Ω resistor is connected to the 5Ω resistor and parallels a 20Ω resistor.
  - A 20Ω resistor goes from the rightmost node in series.

- **Nodes:**
  - Several nodes connect the resistors and current paths, depicted by blue dots.

**Task:**

3. Find the current of the 2 ohm resistor.

This setup is intended to assess understanding of circuit analysis, specifically applying techniques like node voltage, mesh current, or superposition to derive the current through a specified resistor.
