Phasor Algebra
This chapter provides an introduction to phasor algebra by introducing you to the use of the j-operator and its application to the solution of simple RL and RC circuits. Both rectangular and polar coordinate representations of circuit impedance are presented as well as the methods of conversion from one form to the other. These techniques are used to solve the more complex circuits of Chapter 13.
At the end of this chapter you should be able to:
1. Specify both the rectangular and polar coordinates of a point on a complex plane.
2. Simplify the expression of a multiplication or division problem involving the j-operator. ...
