Homework Statement
Use superposition to find [tex]I_L[/tex]
Homework Equations
-The overall current is the sum of the currents supplied by each source individually
The Attempt at a Solution
for source B only (current source is open):
---ohm's law: [tex]\frac{100V}{15k + j25k} = 3.43mA( -59.04 degrees)[/tex]
Here is where I'm having to defend my answer:
for souce A only (voltage source shorted):
---since there is no phase shift labeled, it should be assumed that the current source can be treated as a DC source, treating the inductor as a short, making [tex]I_L[/tex] -20mA
Is this wrong? Should I treat a current source as AC if it has other AC sources involved in the circuit? If this is so I'd just do a current divider to get [tex]I_L[/tex]
