Cramer's Rule in Complex Frequency Domain.

AI Thread Summary
Cramer's Rule can be applied in the frequency domain since it operates with complex numbers, which form a field similar to real numbers. While it can simplify solving two simultaneous equations by hand, it may not be the most efficient method. For computational purposes, using matrix math or functions like rref() in software such as MATLAB is recommended, especially if the calculator supports complex numbers. Ultimately, the choice of method depends on the context and tools available. Cramer's Rule is valid but may not always be the optimal approach for solving equations in the frequency domain.

Does Cramer's rule work in frequency domain? For example, if we have to solve two simeltaneous equations, as in nodel analysis or mesh-current method, can we use Cramer's rule to solve em? Would this be an efficient method?

Yes. The frequency domain is simply complex numbers, which is a field just like the real numbers.

Not necessarily more efficient, but maybe easier with complex numbers if you are doing it by hand on two simultaneous equations. If you are using a calculator or matlab, then just use matrix math or rref(). They should both work, depending on whether or not your calculator can handle complex numbers.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
