FORMS OF COMPLEX

NUMBERS

Prepared by: Engr. Marvin Y. Villorente

1. Rectangular form:
 

• 
 
Where : x= real part or component
jy= imaginary part or imaginary component
 
2. Polar (or Steinmetz) form:

• 
 
Where : r= magnitude or amplitude
= argument or displacement in degrees.
= read as bar angle.

tanθ
3. Exponential form:

• 
 
where:= argument or displacement in radians.
4. Trigonometric form:

• 

 
•convert
  to a polar form and exponential form and simplify.

= 54-j22
Polar form:
Z=58.3 (-22.17) ->ans. θ
Exp. Form:
-22.17x(π/180)= -0.387rad
Z= 58.3ej(-0.387) ->ans.
•2. 
= (1/j5) + 1/(2-j30)
= 1/(j2)2.j +1/(2-j30)
= 1/j+1/(2-j30)
= 0.0022124 – j0.96681
Polar:
Z= 0.99682 (-89.86) ->ans
Exp.:
-89.86(π/180) =-1.5684rad.
Z = 0.99682ej(-1.5684) ->ans.

Z= 0.72414-j0.72414
Polar:
Z = 1.0241 (-45) ->ans
exp.:
Z = 1.0241ej(-0.7854) ->ans.
