Solution

The given currents are I1 = 3Asinwt and I2 = 4Acoswt.

These are two orthogonal (90 degrees phase difference) sinusoidal currents.

The resultant current I3 can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, as these two currents can be considered as two sides of a right triangle.

So, I3 = sqrt(I1^2 + I2^2)

Substitute the given values into the equation:

I3 = sqrt((3Asinwt)^2 + (4Acoswt)^2)

I3 = sqrt(9A^2sin^2wt + 16A^2cos^2wt)

As we know that sin^2wt + cos^2wt = 1,

I3 = sqrt(9A^2 + 16A^2)

I3 = sqrt(25A^2)

I3 = 5A

So, the resultant current I3 is 5A.

Kirchhoff's current law is also known as Kirchhoff's first law and Kirchhoff's junction law. This law states that 'The sum of current into a junction equals the sum of current out of the junction'. This is the same as Kirchhoff's junction law. In a junction, the electric charge's sum preservation law is applied. If the entering value of the current is i2 and i3, this current splits into the current of i1 and i4. Then the equation (i1 + i4 = i2 + i3) is satisfied. The right picture gives an example. This Kirchhoff's first law is that charge is not destroyed or created in a junction point. This is based by an electric charge preservation law.
