Problem 1

Complex numbers in polar form are often written as $r \angle \theta$, where $r$ is the modulus and $\theta$ is the argument, expressed in radians.
Express $1+2 j$ in this way.

Problem 7

A certain electric circuit draws a current of $1.00$ ampere rms when it is fed at 120 volts rms, 60 hertz. The current lags the voltage by $\pi / 4$ radian.
(a) Express $V$ and $I$ in the form of phasors, and calculate the timeaveraged power dissipation.
(b) Now calculate the power $V_{\mathrm{rm}} I_{\mathrm{rm}} \cos \theta$, where $\theta$ is $\pi / 4$.

Problem 9

Show that
$$
\ln (a+b j)=\frac{1}{2} \ln \left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)+j \arctan \frac{b}{a} \text {, }
$$ if $a$ is positive. Then the point $a+b j$ lies in either the first or the fourth quadrant. If $a$ is not positive, be careful to use the proper angle (Sec. 2.1).

Problem 10

Show that the phasor $\boldsymbol{V}=V_{m}[\hat{\boldsymbol{x}} \exp j \omega t+\hat{\boldsymbol{y}} \exp j(\omega t-\pi / 2)]$ represents a vector of constant magnitude $V_{m}$ that rotates in the positive direction in the $x y$-plane at the angular velocity $\omega$.
