SUBTRACTION
The difference of two complex numbers A = x1 + jy1 and B = x2 + jy2 is
A − B = (x1 + jy1) − (x2 + jy2) = (x1 − x2) + j(y1 − y2)
MULTIPLICATION
The product of two complex numbers A = z1 e jθ1 = x1 + jy1
and B = z2 e jθ2 = x2 + jy2 is
AB = (z1 e jθ1 )(z2 e jθ2 ) = z1z2 e j(θ1 + θ2 ) = z1z2 θ1 + θ2
or
AB = (x1 + jy1)(x2 + jy2)
= x1x2 + jx1y2 + jx2y1 + j2y1y2
= (x1x2 − y1y2) + j(x1y2 + x2y1)
DIVISION
The result of dividing two complex numbers A = z1e jθ1 and B = z2 e jθ2
is
A/B = z1 e jθ1/ z2 e jθ2 = (z1/z2) e j(θ1 − θ2) = (z1/z2) θ1 − θ2
Example#1
If a complex number A in polar form is A = 10 30°, express A in both
exponential and rectangular forms.
EXAMPLE 3
Given A = 5 36.9° and B = 5 53.1°, Calculate the product in both polar and
rectangular forms.
AB = (5 36.9°)(5 53.1°) = 25 90°
= (4 + j3)(3 + j4)
= 12 + jl6 + j9 + j212= 25j
