Answer

$I_3 = 20cos(377t - 0.192)$ A

Work Step by Step

This problem looks complex at first complex, but it is easy once you realize that since the components are in parallel. Component 3 has a known voltage and impedance so a current can easily be calculated with $V = I * R$ where R is our impedance $V_{tot} = 340cos(377t) $V $I_{3}(jw) = V_{tot} / Z_3 = \frac{340}{17e^{j*0.192}}$ $I_3 = 20cos(377t - 0.192)$ A
