Engineering I can't determine the capacitive and inductive resistance of the circuit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining capacitive and inductive resistance in a circuit using KCL and Cramer's rule. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the circuit's behavior after a "sufficiently long time," noting that the inductor behaves like a wire while the capacitor's current becomes zero. There is a consensus that grasping the underlying concepts is crucial before proceeding with calculations. The conversation highlights that without a solid understanding of these principles, one risks getting lost in the problem-solving process. Overall, a strong foundational knowledge is deemed essential for successfully tackling the circuit analysis.

Homework Statement
Specify the currents and the voltage drop of the elements. The circuit is working for a sufficiently long time.
Relevant Equations
nil
Hi,

I'm trying to solve this but it becomes difficult. I'm using KCL and I repalce ZL = j0,1ω (Ω) , ZC=... etc.
Finding 3 equations with 3 unknown variables (plus the ω).
And now is the time for Cramer's rule.

I'm not sure if I should move on.

What do you say ? I'm on track ?

Thanks.

What does the circuit look like when it "is working for a sufficiently long time ". Draw that to show us that you first understand the implications before you try to go further because if you don't have that right, you'll just get lost and if you do have it right you'll see that the circuit is fairly straightforward.

I'm not sure for that, it is a note.
 
I think that the key is this note. After a "sufficiently long time" the inductor act like a wire and the current through the capacitor is zero. (Μisleading)

Exactly. So draw that circuit.

And by the way, if you don't completely understand WHY the note says what it says, you should worry about that first. Understanding that is WAY more important that just being able to solve this particular problem.

So @Michael_0039 , did you take that hint? Why is that important? What are the equations for a L and for a C?
