Answer

$i_3 = 143.2cos(377t+2)$ mA

Work Step by Step

This problem is is intuitive given you have dealt with KCL and KVL. We know that the total current coming into a node and leaving a node must equal 0. $\sum I = i_1 - i_2 - i_3 = 0$ solve for $i_3$ $i_3 = i_1 - i_2$ $i_3 = 141.4cos(377t + 2.356) - 50sin(377t - 0.927)$ Convert to phasor notation after converting the sin to a cos with a phase shift $I_3(377t) = 141.4e^{2.356j} + 50e^{0.6438j} $ Use a calculator with complex num capabilities to calculate the final result $i_3 = 143.2cos(377t + 2) $mA
