If you have a phasor that has a negative magnitude (ie -3<38degrees) what is the best presentation. I believed it was just erasing the - sign and adding or subtracting 180degrees. Correct me if wrong
A negative magnitude phasor presentation is a way to represent complex numbers in the form of a vector on a complex plane. It is often used in electrical engineering and physics to analyze circuits and systems.
The - sign is erased because the magnitude of a complex number is always a positive value. In order to accurately represent the magnitude on a complex plane, the - sign is dropped.
Yes, erasing the - sign in a negative magnitude phasor presentation is mathematically correct. It does not change the value of the complex number, but rather simplifies its representation.
Negative magnitude phasor presentations are commonly used in fields such as electrical engineering, physics, and signal processing. They are used to analyze and solve problems involving complex numbers and circuits.
No, there are no exceptions to erasing the - sign in a negative magnitude phasor presentation. The magnitude of a complex number is always positive, regardless of the sign of the real or imaginary component.
