You can put this solution on YOUR website! Electricity - In an AC circuit, the voltage E ( in volts), current I ( in amps), and impedance Z ( in ohms) are related by the formula E = I . Z. Find the current in a circuit with voltage 10 - 3j volts and impedance 4+ j ohms.
-----------------------------
E = I*Z
(10-3j) = I*(4+j)
-----------------------
I = (10-3j)/(4+j)
---
Multiply numerator and denominator by (4-j) to get:
I = [(10-3j)(4-j)]/[(4+j)(4-j)]
-----
I = [(40-3) -(10+12)j] / [16+1]
----
I = (37 - 22j)/17
----
I = (37/17) - (22/17)j
