Solve for the power of the 3 ohm resistor using Series and Parallel Combination
**Electrical Circuit Analysis: Series and Parallel Combination**

**Objective:**

Solve for the power of the 10 ohm resistor using the concept of series and parallel combination.

**Circuit Description:**

The electrical circuit diagram consists of multiple components arranged in complex series and parallel combinations:

1. There is a 4 A current source connected in parallel with a 3Ω resistor, a 15Ω resistor, and a 6Ω resistor forming a branch.
2. A dependent current source labeled "2i" is also part of the circuit.
3. A 3 A current source is connected in parallel to a set of series resistors: one 6Ω and one 10Ω resistor (the resistor of interest).
4. Another branch contains a parallel combination of a 6Ω resistor and a 9 A current source.

**Task:**

Analyze this circuit to determine the power across the 10 ohm resistor by correctly computing the equivalent resistances and currents in the circuit. Use the series and parallel resistor combination principles for simplification and calculation.
