The course starts with the basics. You will get an in depth understanding of the fundamentals of complex numbers. Fundamentals are the most important part of building expert knowledge and skills. You will learn everything from what is number axis all the way up to different representation forms of complex numbers and conversions.
- Next you’ll learn how to perform operations with complex numbers and how to apply multiplication to actually divide two complex numbers. You will be learning to handle imaginary unit “j” in every way: multiplication, division, squaring, cubing, finding reciprocal value and using it to rotate other complex numbers.
- Once you’ve learned complex number operations, you are going to learn how to conjugate and negate complex numbers as well as how to apply those in formulas to solve your circuits.
- Then you are going to learn how to use your complex numbers knowledge in real Electrical Engineering problems. Being able to apply complex numbers in calculation of phasor Voltages and Currents is a very important aspect when it comes to solving A/C circuits.
- At this point you’ll be ready to start solving more complex problems involving finding equivalent Impedance. We will spend a great deal of time learning how to deal with series and parallel connection of Impedances through our knowledge of complex numbers.
- Next you’re going to learn how to apply complex numbers to Complex Power and I will make connection with the real and imaginary components of Complex Power: Active and Reactive Power, as well as its magnitude that is called Apparent Power.
