INDEPENDENTLY. You may be asked to answer any question of the assignment in the class.
• To answer the assignments, follow Assignment Solutions Template posted in the Google Classroom.
• Leave clear left and top margins on every page.
• On the top of your fist page, write the Assignment no., Your Name, Section-Roll No., Due Date for
submission and Date of Submission.
• Page number your answer pages sequentially as in the Assignment Solutions Template.
• Staple (do not pin or clip) your sheets cleanly on the left hand top corner.
• From time to time, your subsequent assignments will be posted in the Google Classroom.
• For your benefit, you are strongly advised to answer these assignments earnestly and seriously.

Conventions & refresher

(A) In Electrical Engineering, i is preferred for current. To denote √(−1), we use j instead of i.
Thus, we have j = √(−1), i.e., j2 = −1. Also, the symbol ∠is used to denote ‘angle’.
(B) z = x + jy (in rectangular form) = | z |θ = r∠ θ (in polar form, read as “r at an angle θ ”).
Clearly, x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ, r = | z | = √(x2 + y2) and θ = tan−1 (y/x).
We write x = Re(z) [read as “Real part of z”] and y = Im(z) [read as “Imaginary part of z”].
(C) Read α = 35º as angle in degree. If the º symbol is absent, read β = 2π/7 as angle in radian.
(D) In using θ = tan−1 (y/x), take the angle in the appropriate quadrant using the following table.

Sign of x Sign of y In Quadrant

+ + 1
− + 2
− − 3
+ − 4

(E) The complex conjugate of Z = x + j y = | Z |∠ θ is Z * = x − j y = | Z |∠(−θ).

 ➢ Data for Q1 and Q2: A= 9 + j 7; B = − j 6; C = 6.5 – j 11.1; D = − 85.4 – j 75.8,
K = − 56.9 + j 88.8; E= 11∠45º; F = 15∠120º; G = − 46∠140º; and H =− 71∠ (−4π/9).

Q1. Express the following complex numbers in the polar form and sketch each of them on
the complex plane: (A+C), (B+C), 1 / [(1/A) + (1/C)], (C–A) and (D–K) / (A+B)

Q2. Express the following complex numbers in the rectangular form and sketch each of them
on the complex plane: (AE – FC), – ABE / (C+D), (K – AH) and [(C/D) – AFB + (G/K)].

Note: DO NOT solve Q3 to Q9 below treating the quantities as only real or only imaginary
numbers. Solutions are complex numbers, in general.
