Complex power is a measure of power in an alternating current (AC) circuit that combines both real power and reactive power. It is represented as a complex number, typically denoted by ( S = P + jQ ), where ( P ) is the real power (measured in watts) that performs useful work, and ( Q ) is the reactive power (measured in volt-amperes reactive, or VAR) that oscillates between the source and the load but does no net work. The magnitude of complex power indicates the total power in the system, while the angle provides information about the phase difference between voltage and current.

Why you take complex conjugate of phasor current in complex power?

In electrical engineering, when calculating complex power (S = VI*), we use the complex conjugate of the phasor current (I*) because it ensures that the power calculation reflects the correct direction of power flow. The complex conjugate accounts for the phase difference between voltage and current, allowing us to separate real (active) power and reactive power components. This convention aligns with the mathematical properties of complex numbers, ensuring that the resulting power values are consistent with physical interpretations in AC circuits.


Why you take the conjugate of current in complex power?

In order to calculate the complex power of a circuit, the conjugate of current is used. The Vrms of the circuit is multiplied by the complex conjugate of the total circuit current.

Who gives the complex number?

I will be glad to give you a complex number. (i^i)^i is i raised to the i power and raised to the i power again. This is not the same as i^3 which is -i but computes to .947 + .321i

How do you calculate root of any complex number using casio Fx 991MS calculator?

Not sure about the Casio, but most calculators which have capability to handle complex numbers should be similar. Input the complex number according to however you normally do that, then raise to a power. In the case of roots, you want to raise to a reciprocal power: Square root is 0.5 power, cube root is 1/3 power, fourth root is 0.25 power, etc
