Question
What is the power of the 100 ohm resistor?
This image depicts a complex electrical circuit with multiple components. The circuit includes two current sources and six resistors with the following specifications:

1. A 3 Ampere (A) current source is connected at the bottom left.
2. A 9 Ampere (A) current source is positioned at the top of the circuit.
3. The resistors have resistances of:
   - 4 Ohms 
   - 2 Ohms
   - 5 Ohms
   - 100 Ohms 
   - 20 Ohms
   - Another 4 Ohms resistor in a different branch

The resistors and current sources are connected in various series and parallel combinations across the circuit. 

The question associated with this circuit asks: "What is the power of the 100 ohm resistor?"

To find the power dissipated by the 100-ohm resistor, one would generally use the formula: 

\[ \text{Power} (P) = I^2 \times R \]

where \( I \) is the current through the resistor and \( R \) is its resistance. Determining the current through the 100-ohm resistor will require analyzing the circuit using techniques such as mesh analysis or node voltage analysis to solve for the currents and voltages throughout the circuit.
