  1. What is meant by the Impedance ?

    ReplyDelete
  2. i think impedance is the total resistance of a circuit that has resistors ,capacitors and inductors. it is usually associated with a.c voltages

    ReplyDelete
  3. question b:
    (12-8j)-(5+14j)
    First of all you must remember that j= square root -1, and j^2= -1

    You then look for any term within brackets that is raised by a power

    you then put the real terms under the real terms and the imaginary under imaginary

    12 - 8j
    - 5 + 14j
    ----------
    = 7 - 22j

    that would be how to work that problem out

    ReplyDelete
  4. yea but if is in a parallel cirt you will hav to find out wot is Z1 and Z2.The imaginary well be Xl -Xc and den after yuh subtitute in the formula Z1Z2 upone Z1+Z2 and den my frend youll find ZT!!!!!!!

  11. i kno some1 asked about the polar form b4 but can any1 explain it a little more detailed?

    ReplyDelete
  12. yes SMILEY and crazykid
    there is no convertin tuh polar form, well not really say for instants u have 3+4j right!! real term and imag temr right!! What the poler form does is to show that same expression w.r.t cos and sin

    where cos is the real term
    and
    sin is the imag term

    most time they only ask u this when u have tuh find the argument
    OR
    once they ask u to show in the polar form
    E.G
    3+4j
    becomes
    3cos + 4sinj

    do u all understand jus let me no and i'll try to explain it more since some ppl might not understand what i wirte

    ReplyDelete
  13. for u to understand the ques smiley jus remember that

    j^2=-1

    that is very important when doing complex no. and barckets i'll work the ques for u

    E) (5 − √(-16)) × (2 + √(-9))

    (5 − √-1 x √16) × (2 + √-1 x √9)

    (5 − √j^2 x √16) × (2 + √j^2 x √9)

    (5 − j x √16) × (2 + j x √9)

    (5 − j x 4) × (2 + j x 3)

    (5 − 4j) × (2 + 3j)

    then from here u can expand the brackets

    (5 − 4j) × (2 + 3j)

    10 + 15j - 8j - 12j^2

    10 + 7j - 12 x -1

    10 + 7j + 12

    22 + 7j

    thats your final answer and ill show you what is that polar form as well

    in polar form it will be

    22cosQ + 7sinQj

    and i'll leave the angle for u to find

    ReplyDelete
  14. Q represents the angle right?

    ReplyDelete
  15. so how exactly to find that now?
    someone pls ansa (:(

    ReplyDelete
  16. quadratic for x^2-x+5=0
    huh i really cant remember, my brains getting rusty..lol.

    ReplyDelete
  17. well for x^2-x+5=0
    first you remember the quadratic equation
    x = -b (+or-) √b^2 - 4ac all divided by 2a

    note that in the quadratic a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient and c = x^0(which is 1) coefficient

    after you substitute the values of a, b, and c into the equation and you can work it from there

    ReplyDelete
  18. according to renjisan to find Q(i.e. the angle) the following is as follows (lol)

    remember that miss taught us that tanθ=opp divided by the adj, well when the graph is drawn to represent the complex function, and the angle is required to be found by the acquirement of a triangle, the angle can be found by

    tanθ=imaginary divided by the real

    BUT the angle we want is not that of the angle found by the equation

    tanθ= imaginary divided by the real

    but the total amount of degrees in a circle(360) minus the angle found

  19. oh and i forgot to say hi to all, i missed the blog cuz i got dismembered somehow lol

    any ways could anyone help me with a question like this

  20. to me all complex nos is the same thing and that all there is to know is that j^2=-1, j=-1^1/2
    and never to work out complex nos IN YOUR HEAD (not recommended), use a god damn calculator check this -6*-25=?
    and
    i got that wrong sucks doesn't it especially if it 5 marks

  21. regarding fariel'sbeststudent

    first you remember that j=√-1 and remember de police

    5 - √(-1x16) + 2 + √(-1x9) divided 2 + √(-1x25)

    5 - √(-1)√(16) + 2 + √(-1)√(9) divided 2 + √(-1)√(25)

    i am stuck can some one help
    me please

  22. you need to take it step by step
    someone else elaborate and help both damon and ME

  23. (5 − √(-16)) × (2 + √(-9))
    the first step in solving this problem is to solve in the brackets first

    (5-√16j)x(2+√9j)

    this is because j=-1

    the second step is to find the √ of each term


    (5- 4j)x(2+3j)

    the next stem is to remove the brackets by expanding

    (5 − 4j) × (2 + 3j)

    10 + 15j - 8j - 12j^2

    10 + 7j - 12 x -1

    10 + 7j + 12

    22 + 7j

    ReplyDelete
  24. so for any complex number question given we can solve it by using the values for j^2 and j, rite?

    ReplyDelete
  25. recall: complex numbers consist of rel and imaginary terms. the imaginary terms are denoted by the letter j.

    in the addition of complex numbers, the real are added to together and the imaginary are added toether:

    (a) 2 - 14j +
    15 + 4j
    =17 - 10j

    the subtractio of complex numbers are similar to th addition in that the real are subtracted from the real and the imaginary are subtracted from the imaginary:

    (b) 12 - 8j -
    5 + 14j
    = 7 - 22j

    when multiplying complex numbers the first term in the first bracket is multiplied by the terms in the second bracket, then the second term of the first bracket is multiplied by the terms in the second brackets:

    (c) (2-6j) (3+2j)
    = {(2*3)+(2*2j)} - {(6j*3)+(6j*2j)}
    = {6+4j} - {18j+12j^2}
    =6+4j-18j+12j^2
    recall:j^2=-1
    = 6+4j-18j+12(-1)
    all real terms are added and all imaginary terms are added:
    = 6-12+4j-18j
    =-6-14j__________check back ur ans 4 dis smiley

    (e) 5-√-16
    recall: j=√-1
    therefore √-16= √-1 * 16=
    = j√16
    = 4j (√16 =4)

    5-√-16 = 5-4j

  27. impedence(Z)is the total resistance to the flow of current by the resistors, capacitors and inductors in the circuit.
    he value of the resitor is the real and the vlue of the difference of the inductor and the capacitor is te imagiary

    ReplyDelete
  28. sorry i dident finish the question, (is weekend na)
    e) 5-√-16
    recall: j=√-1
    therefore √-16= √-1 * 16=
    = j√16
    = 4j (√16 =4)

    5-√-16 = 5-4j
    now we deal with 2+ √-9

    √-9= √-1*9 = j√9 = 3j

    2+ √-9 = 2+3j
    now we multiply: (5-4j) (2+3j)
    = 5(2+3j) - 4j(2+3j)
    =10+15j-8j-12j^2 (rem j^2= -1 so 12j^2= -12)
    = 22+7j

  29. OK fariel'sbeststudent

    the question you asked

    (5 − √(-16)) + (2 + √(-9))
    then divided by 2 + √(-25)

    well the first thing u do is work out the top that is (5 − √(-16)) + (2 + √(-9)) first and from above the answer that u will get is 22 + 7j

    then u work out the bottom
    2 + √(-25)

    2 + √-1 x √25

    2 + √j^2 x √25

    2 + j x 5

    2 + 5j

    then u divide it by placing the top part u worked out over the bottom part u worked out

    so it will be (22 + 7j)/(2 + 5j)

    (22 + 7j)/(2 + 5j) X (2 - 5j)/(2 - 5j)

    when expanded you get

    (44 - 110j + 14j - 35j^2)/(4 - 25j^2)

    (44 - 110j + 14j - 35 x -1)/(4 - 25 x -1)

    (44 - 110j + 14j + 35)/(4 + 25)

    79 - 96j/29

    and that is what u will get for your answer

    ReplyDelete
  30. well animechic it depends on how the question is stated

    for example if they give u something like this

    (5 − √(-16)) + (2 + √(-9))

    then u can use j^2=-1 to get it into the complex form and if the ques reqires you to find the modulus or argument

    and the other way is they can give u the impedence of resistoer, capacitors or inductors and tell to find the phase angle or total impedence

    ReplyDelete
  31. i think ken should hav gone a step further.

    (5 − √(-16)) × (2 + √(-9))
    the first step in solving this problem is to work out the square root part in the brackets first.

    (5-√-1*√16) x (2+√-1√9)

    since j = √-1

    (5-√16j) x (2+√9j)

    the second step is to find the √ of each term

    (5- 4j)x(2+3j)

    the next step is to remove the brackets by expanding

    (5 − 4j) × (2 + 3j)

    10 + 15j - 8j - 12j^2
    Since J2 = -1

    Then 10 + 15j -8j –12(-1)

    10 + 7j - 12 x -1

    10 + 7j + 12

    =22 + 7j

  32. Calculating modulus and phase angle...

    real + imag
    1 + 12j...
    The first thing to remember is to plot the points. The real numbers goes on the x-axis and the imaginary nos goes on the y-axis. The graph plotted will form a right angle triangle.

    The modulus will be the hyp of the triangle.
    recall => hyp = √opp^2 + adj^2

    therefore taking 1 + 12j

    modulus = √(1^2) + (12^2)
    = √1 + 144

    The phase angle is the angle between the x-axis and the hyp.
    The phase angle is calculated using ;
    (let a = the phase angle)

    tan a = opp/adj
    tan a = 12/1

    a = tan^-1 (12/1) = 85.3 degrees => phase angle...

    ReplyDelete
  33. Polar coordinates...
    To put complex nos into polar the first thing you need to do is plot the point/s given. Therefore using 1 + 6j, where 1 is the real no. (goes on the x-axis) and 6j is the imaginary (goes on the y-axis)

    Then find the modulus => √opp^2 + adj^2
    = √(1^2) + (6^2) = √1 + 36
    = 6.08

    and the phase angle = tan a = opp/adj
    a = tan^-1 (6/1) = 80.5 degrees
    Put in the polar form => r(cos a + j sin a)
    where r is the modulus and a is the phase angle.

    Ans => 6.08(cos 80.5 + j sin 80.5)

    ReplyDelete
  34. heyy i just wanted to point out something important...when calculating the phase angle...always remember to check which quadrant of the graph it falls in because in the 2nd quadrant or the bottom half of the right side of the graph the phase angle is calculated by...
    360 - [tan^-1 (opp/adj)]
    ..this is something we might forget in the rush so i just thought i'd remind u :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. 1 + 12j

    the phase angle is:
    tan x = opp/adj
    tan x = 12/1
    = 85 degrees

    the modulus is:
    r = (12^2 + 1^2)^1/2
    = 12

    ReplyDelete
  36. 2- 12j

    the modulus is:
    r = (2^2 + (-12^2))^1/2
    = 12

    the phase angle is:
    tan x = opp/adj
    tan x = 12/2
    x = 81 degrees

    since the phase angle is in the 4th quadrant it will be:

    360 - 81 = 279 degrees

    ReplyDelete
  37. -14 + j

    the modulus is:
    r = ( -14^2 + 1^2)^1/2
    = 14

    the phase angle is:
    tan x = opp/adj
    x = 1/14
    x = 4

    since the phase angle is in the 2nd quadrant it will be:

    180 - 4 = 176 degrees

    ReplyDelete
  38. -5-9j

    the modulus is:
    r = ( -5^2 + -9^2)^1/2
    = 10

    the phase angle is:
    tan x = opp/adj
    tan x = 9/5
    x = 61

    since the phase angle is in the 3rd quadrant it will be:

    180 + 61 = 241 degrees
    x =

    ReplyDelete
  39. when you have a question like:
    (2-14j)+(15+4j)
    2 and 15 are considered to be real numbers
    and -14j and 4j are considered to be imaginary numbers.In order to simplify the equation u must group the like terms real with real and imaginary with imaginary.
    2-14j
    +15+ 4j
    =17-10j

  40. (2 − 14j) + (15 + 4j)
    = 17 - 10j

    r = 10^2 + 17^2 = root of 389

    tan teta = 10/17
    = 30.5

    Miss tried to flow us with those minus signs, lol. Come on miss, try harder

    ReplyDelete
  42. c) (2-6j) (3+2j) we open out the brackets

    =6+4j-18j+12j squared (we know that j squared is equal to minus 1 right people)
    therefore.

    =18-12j

    d)(3-4j) (7+2j) we open out the brackets which gives

    = 21+6j-28j-8j squared

    = 21+8+6j-28j

    =29-22j

    f) (1+2j)squared is simply

    =(1+2j) (1+2j)

    =-1+2j+2j+4j squared

    =(-3)+4j



    And for the person above who asked about polar form, remember after plotting the graph of the real against imarginery and finding the angel of impedencem, the polar form will be

    sqaure root r [cos(the angle) + j sin(the angle]. Correct me if am wrong

    ReplyDelete
  43. That is correct what you are saying because the sqaure root r is just the squares of real and imajenry the angle may be found using tan teta .

    making √(-9) = √(9)*√(-1) where √(-1) = j
    therefore 3j

    and √(-16) = √(16)*√(-1) where √(-1) = j
    therefore 4j
    substitute into

    [(5*2)+(5*√(-9)] - (√(-16 *2) -(√(-16*√(-9)
