Homework Statement
In this circuit
(In attachment.)
find the value which is showed on ammeter A,if voltmeter is showing 50\;V.
Values are R=R_2=X_L=X_C=10\;\Omega and R_1=5\;\Omega
The Attempt at a Solution
First I calculate current thought branch with R_2 and X_C:
\underline{I}_2=\frac{\underline{U}}{-jX_C}=j5\;A
then knowing that potential difference at the ends of branches(one with R_2 and X_C and the other with R_1 and X_L) is the same,I proceed:
\underline{U}_1=\underline{U}_2
\frac{\underline{I}_1}{R_1+jX_L}=\frac{\underline{I}_2}{R_2-jX_C}
\underline{I}_2=\frac{R_1+jX_L}{R_2-jX_C}\underline{I}_2=-3.75-j1.25\;A
Overall current \underline{I} in circuit is the sum of two currents from two branches,so
\underline{I}=\underline{I_1}+\underline{I_2}=-3.75+j3.75
module of this value is value showed on ammeter
|\underline{I}|=5.303
However,correct solution is 3\sqrt{5}\approx6.708
Where is the mistake?
