An alternating voltage of (160 + j120)V is applied to a circuit and the current in the circuit is given by (6 + j8)A. The value of the circuit impedance in ohms is given by
Added by Amber S.
Step 1
In this case, the voltage and current are given as complex numbers, so we'll need to perform complex division to find the impedance. The voltage V = 160 + j120 V and the current I = 6 + j8 A. So, Z = V / I = (160 + j120) / (6 + j8). To divide complex numbers, Show more…
