Tutorial on Complex Numbers - Part 4


That's right.

1/j = (1/j)(j/j) = j/j2 = j/(-1) = -j


Complex numbers can be expressed in three forms:  exponential form, polar form, and rectangular form, as shown below:

M = Mejq = M/q = Mcosq + jMsinq

When the complex number is given in exponential form, the angle is usually given in radians.  If it's in polar form, the angle is usually given in degrees.

For the complex number 5ej1.5, the polar form is 5/q .  What is q?  Round your answer to the nearest degree.

q = °
