Current Division Rule: Solving for Currents

[jra12222]

Hi all,

I was working the following example:

where I need to find the currents. I tried solving using the traditional V=IR => I=V/R,
and then I tried with the current division rule. However with the current division rule the answers don't match.
Also according to the answers on the book the correct answer is the first one.
Are there some conditions when using the current division rule?

I don't know what the first one is since you didn't tell us. However, you have more than resistance in this circuit. Do you know how to get the impedance for a capacitor and an inductor?

Oh no the first is the traditional one, I basically found voltage drop across the the parallel branches and then found the current using V=I/Z.
Yes inductive and capacitive resistances are correct

OH never mind I just noticed I was making a mistake in the substitution of the values! I've been trying to figure it out for the past hour :(
Sorry for this!
Consider this thread closed
Thanks :)
