Explain current divider rule in ac circuits with two parallel impedances Z1 and Z2. Calculate the currents I1 and I2 in phasor form for the circuit given in figure.

### Current Divider Rule in AC Circuits

The problem requires us to explain the current divider rule for AC circuits where there are two parallel impedances \( Z_1 \) and \( Z_2 \). We are also asked to calculate the currents \( I_1 \) and \( I_2 \) in phasor form for the given circuit.

#### Circuit Description
- **Total Current \( I \):** 30 A at an angle of 40°.
- **Components in Parallel:**
  - Resistor \( R \) with a resistance of 22 Ω.
  - Inductor \( X_L \) with an inductive reactance of 60 Ω.
- **Currents:**
  - \( I_1 \) flows through the resistor \( R \).
  - \( I_2 \) flows through the inductor \( X_L \).

For the given configuration, the current divider rule can be used to find the individual branch currents \( I_1 \) and \( I_2 \), which are the currents through \( Z_1 \) (resistor) and \( Z_2 \) (inductor), respectively.
