That should work.Sam 007 said:For part E.
Branch one
R+R=2R
I=V/2R
Branch 2
R+jXL
I=V/(R+jxL)
than find the magnitude and angle than add Is suppose

You can't just place a "+" sign between the two currents and sum their magnitudes because they don't have the same angle. You can add the currents by taking their different angles into account, or, alternatively, you can separately add their real parts, and add their imaginary parts, to find the real and imaginary part of the total current.Sam 007 said:V*(R/(R^2+XL^2)- jXL/(R^2+XL^2)
V*√((R/(R^2+XL^2)^2- (XL/(R^2+XL^2))^2)
θ= tan^-1(XL/R)
Itotal = V*√((R/(R^2+XL^2)^2- (XL/(R^2+XL^2))^2) + V/2R
