Finding voltage phasor resistance * current phasor

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the phasor voltage given a current phasor of I=75<120° and a resistance of R=4kΩ. The correct approach is to multiply the current's magnitude by the resistance while keeping the angle unchanged. Thus, the resulting phasor voltage is V=300000<120°, confirming that only the magnitude is affected by the multiplication with the real constant.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of phasors and complex numbers
  • Basic knowledge of electrical engineering principles
  • Familiarity with Ohm's Law in phasor form
  • Ability to perform calculations involving complex multiplication
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the concept of phasor representation in AC circuits
  • Learn about complex number multiplication in electrical engineering
  • Explore Ohm's Law applications in phasor analysis
  • Investigate the effects of impedance on phasor calculations
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and professionals working with AC circuit analysis and phasor calculations.

Homework Statement



I=75<120 deg.
R= 4k
find phasor voltage

does the 4,000 multiply the 75 only so you get

300000<120

or does it multiply 4,000 both values including the angle ?

Multiplying a complex number or phasor by a real constant changes only its magnitude. The angle remains the same.
