RCL Circuit: 2 Resistors, 1 Capacitor, 2 Inductors

[QUOTE="collinsmark, post: 5073438, member: 114325"] Hello B. Vane, You have the right idea up to a point. In the first branch (the one that has the capacitor, inductor and resistor) things look pretty good up until the point where you calculate the current at time [I]t = [/I]0. It is not necessary to calculate the instantaneous current in the circuit. I think the problem as asking for the "average" power dissipated by each resistor, not the instantaneous. Just use the rms current, when calculating the power. In the second branch (the one that contains an inductor and resistor), again, use the rms current, rather than the peak current, when calculating average power. [/QUOTE]
