    Finding i(t) in a Circuit with Phasors: Introductory Exercise

    Homework Statement In this circuit, find i(t), knowing that v_s= 2 \cos \left(w x+\frac{\pi }{2}\right), and that, at the source's frequency, X_C= -1 Ω and X_L = 1 Ω. Homework Equations Basic phasors and dividers equations. Z_C = jX_C Z_L = jX_L The Attempt at a Solution I used dividers...
