**Problem 4: Circuit Analysis Using Superposition**

**Task:** Solve for \( i_s \) in the following circuit by using the superposition theorem.

**Circuit Diagram:**

- The circuit consists of:
  - A 3 A current source pointing upwards.
  - A 5 Ω resistor in series with the current source.
  - A 10 Ω resistor connected in parallel with a 12 V voltage source.
  - Another 10 Ω resistor connected to the other end of the 12 V voltage source.
  - The current \( i_s \) to be determined flows across the branch with the voltage source and the two 10 Ω resistors.

**Instructions:**

Using the superposition theorem, analyze the circuit by considering the effects of the current source and the voltage source separately. Then, superimpose the results to find the total current \( i_s \).
