RL parallel circuit. No value given

In summary, Guys I'm very new to this subject and need help with step 1. I calculate voltage at A and B, but I am stuck on how to find Va. Va=R*V/R+R and I am not really sure where to find R. Can anyone help me?

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
That should work. :smile:

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

For part C... R3

V3=V*R3/(R3+jXL)
=V( R/(R+jXL)* (R-jXL)/(R-jXL)

= V*(R^2/(R^2+XL^2) - jRXL/(R^2+XL^2))mag=V*√(R^2/(R^2+XL^2))^2 - (RXL/(R^2+XL^2))^2)

θ=tan^-1(RXL/R^2)

Real power R3=(V*√(R^2/(R^2+XL^2))^2 - (RXL/(R^2+XL^2))^2))^2/R

Real power R1 and R2= V^2/2R

isn't v^2 / 2R ?

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.
