a. First of all let us determine the impedances in complex form:
For the 9nF capacitor Z(cap)
Z(cap) = 1/{j x 2.2*w; x 10^6 x 9 x 10^-9} = -j16.1 = 16.1&Angle;arctan(-16.1/0) = 16.1Angle(-90)
For the resistor 12 Ohm; resistor Z(R)
Z(R) = 12 Ohm
For the 1.1 uH inductor Z(In)
Z(In) = j x 2.2pi x 10^6 x 1.1 x 10^-6 = j8.0 = 8Angle arctan(8/0) = 8Angle(90)
Note we have two loops; call them Loop one to the LHS of circuit diagram and Loop 2 to the RHS of the circuit diagram. We ignore current i2 for the moment and just consider the Maxwell circulating currents or Mesh currents.
For the 1st Maxwell current loop: (i.e. the current that flows in loop 1, i1 in circuit diagram)
i1*{Z(cap) + Z(R)} - i3*Z(R) = V1 -V2 (1)
For the 2nd Maxwell current loop: (i.e. the current that flows in loop 2, i3 in circuit diagram)
i3*{Z(R) + Z(In)} - i1*Z(R) = V2 (2)
Thus we have simultaneous equations (1) & (2) to solve.
Multiplying (1) by {Z(R) + Z(In)}we get
i1*{Z(cap) + Z(R)}*{Z(R) + ...
