The image shows a parallel circuit with three current sources, \( I_1 \), \( I_2 \), and \( I_3 \), and we are tasked with finding the total current \( I_T \).

### Given:
- \( I_1 = 4 \, \text{A} \)
- \( I_2 = 2 \, \text{A} \)
- \( I_3 = 3 \, \text{A} \)

Since the current sources are in parallel, the total current \( I_T \) is the sum of the individual currents:

\[
I_T = I_1 + I_2 + I_3
\]

Substituting the given values:

\[
I_T = 4 \, \text{A} + 2 \, \text{A} + 3 \, \text{A} = 9 \, \text{A}
\]

Thus, the total current \( I_T = 9 \, \text{A} \).

1. What would happen if one of the current sources was reversed?
2. How would \( I_T \) change if \( I_2 \) were doubled?
3. What is the significance of having parallel current sources?
4. How would the circuit behave if one of the current sources was turned off?
5. How can the total voltage in the circuit be calculated?

### Tip:
In parallel circuits, the voltage across all components remains the same while the total current is the sum of the individual currents.
