Complex numbers are used in electronics to describe the current in an electric circuit. Ohm's law relates the current in a circuit, I, in amperes, the voltage of the circuit, E, in volts, and the resistance of the circuit, R, in ohms, by the formula Solve the problem using this formula. Find E, the voltage of a circuit, if I = (16 + i) amperes and R = (2 + 4i) ohms.

Answer :

Answer:

E = (28 + 66i) Volts

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that: i = √-1 ; i² = -1

Ohm's law: E = IR

E = (16+ i) (2 + 4i)

Expand the equation.

E = 16x2 + 16x4i + ix2 + ix4i

E = 32 + 64i + 2i + 4i²

E = 32 + 64i + 2i + 4(-1)

E = 32 + 64i + 2i - 4

Collect like terms:

E = 32 -4 + 64i + 2i

E = (28 + 66i) Volts
