Homework Statement

I'm supposed to calculate the current and the phase angle.

Relevant Equations

Can someone please tell me if this is the correct solution?

I got the same answer as you. I did not follow every step of your work. While the angle does round to 90 degree, I think it's important to know that it can never equal 90, and will be slightly less.

You got the same answer regarding the value of the current as well?

 

[gneill]

Your current magnitude and angle are both correct.

 

[magnuol]

Your current magnitude and angle are both correct.

Does it seem accurate that the order of the real component (a) is 10^(-7) when the imaginary component (b) is that much bigger?

 

[gneill]

Yes. That's why the phase angle is so close to 90°.

Yes, I got the same magnitude and angle for current I

 

[kuruman]

Yes, I got the same magnitude and angle for current I

For whatever it's worth, I got the same real and imaginary parts for the current as @magnuol .

Hey @magnuol if this is something you will be working with, then you could benefit from finding a way to work out the complex number calculations - either a nice scientific calculator, or some software. Both Python and R are freely available programming environments, and both can handle complex number calculations (check out http://www.johnmyleswhite.com/notebook/2009/12/18/using-complex-numbers-in-r/ for some examples in R). Also, https://www.wolframalpha.com/ can handle those calculations as well.
