Worksheet 3: The Argand diagram

The Argand diagram

1. Draw the phasors on an argand diagram for z1  2  3 j and z 2  2  3 j .

2. On the same argand diagram, plot the resultant value of z1  z 2

3. Measure from the argand diagram the modulus and argument for the resultant
value and record the result.

4. Check your measurements by calculating the expected value for the modulus
and argument obtained.

5. Draw the phasors on an argand diagram for z1  4  2 j and z 2  5  3 j .

6. On the same argand diagram, plot the resultant value of z1  z 2

7. Measure from the argand diagram the modulus and argument for the resultant
value and record the result.

8. Check your measurements by calculating the expected value for the modulus
and argument obtained.
