Complex Numbers May Be Applied to Electrical Circuits

question 195

Short Answer

Complex numbers may be applied to electrical circuits. Electrical engineers use the fact that resistance to electrical flow of the electrical current and the voltage are related by the formula . (Voltage is measured in volts, resistance in ohms, and current in amperes). Find the resistance to electrical flow in a circuit that has a voltage volts and current amps.
