### Electrical Circuit Analysis

**Problem Statement:**

Refer to the given circuit diagram with resistors R148, R149, and R150:

- \(R148\) is 46 Ohms
- \(R149\) is 25 Ohms
- \(R150\) is 14 Ohms

Given that there is a current of 3 Amps flowing through \(R148\), calculate the current through \(R150\).

**Detailed Solution:**
To solve this problem, we first analyze the circuit configuration shown in the diagram:

1. **Description of the Circuit Diagram:**
   - The circuit is composed of three resistors: \(R148\), \(R149\), and \(R150\).
   - Resistor \(R148\) is in series with a parallel combination of \(R149\) and \(R150\).

2. **Equivalent Resistance:**
   - Calculate the equivalent resistance of \(R149\) and \(R150\) which are in parallel:
     \[
     \frac{1}{R_{parallel}} = \frac{1}{R149} + \frac{1}{R150}
     \]
     \[
     \frac{1}{R_{parallel}} = \frac{1}{25\ \Omega} + \frac{1}{14\ \Omega}
     \]
     \[
     \frac{1}{R_{parallel}} = 0.04 + 0.071428571
     \]
     \[
     \frac{1}{R_{parallel}} \approx 0.111428571
     \]
     \[
     R_{parallel} \approx \frac{1}{0.111428571} \approx 8.97\ \Omega
     \]

   - The total resistance in the circuit (\(R_{total}\)) is the sum of \(R148\) and \(R_{parallel}\):
     \[
     R_{total} = 46\ \Omega + 8.97\ \Omega
     \]
     \[
     R_{total} \approx 54.97\ \Omega
     \]

3. **Total Voltage (V):**
   - Using Ohm's law, calculate the total voltage across the circuit:
     \[
     V = I \times R_{total}
     \]
     \[
     V = 3\ \text{Am
