Complex Numbers for AC Circuits

Discussion

Complex Numbers

Directions: Please answer the question and support your ideas, then respond to a minimum of two of your classmates.

Discuss the advantages of representing phasors in complex and polar form. Include examples for which one or another form is most advantageous.

Assignment

Complex Numbers

Repeat the Module 3 and Module 5 Assignments utilizing complex number representation instead of phasor representation.

Submit all calculations in a document entitled EE115W7AYourGID.docx, or an equivalent word processing file extension.
