2) find voltage of 4 - ohm inductor (v_l) using superposition theorem. (20 points)

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Consider first voltage source

Set the second voltage source to zero (short - circuit it). Calculate the equivalent impedance and current through the inductor due to the first source $V_1 = 4\angle0^{\circ}$.

Step2: Analyze circuit with first source

Find the total impedance $Z_{total1}$ of the circuit with the second source short - circuited. Then calculate the current $I_{L1}$ through the inductor using Ohm's law $I=\frac{V}{Z}$.

Step3: Consider second voltage source

Set the first voltage source to zero (short - circuit it). Calculate the equivalent impedance and current through the inductor due to the second source $V_2 = 2\angle90^{\circ}$.

Step4: Analyze circuit with second source

Find the total impedance $Z_{total2}$ of the circuit with the first source short - circuited. Then calculate the current $I_{L2}$ through the inductor using Ohm's law.

Step5: Apply superposition

The voltage across the inductor $V_L$ is given by $V_L = I_{L1}Z_L+I_{L2}Z_L$, where $Z_L = 4j$ (since it is a 4 - ohm inductor).

Answer:

(The actual numerical answer requires detailed circuit analysis and complex - number calculations based on the above steps. Without performing all the calculations, we cannot provide a specific numerical value for $V_L$. The general procedure is as described above.)
