Problem

Complex numbers are used in electronics to describe the current in an electric circuit. Ohm's law relates the current in a circuit, I, in amperes, the voltage of the circuit, $E$, in volts, and the resistance of the circuit, $R$, in ohms, by the formula $E=I R$. Find $E$, the voltage of a circuit if $I=(9-4 i)$ amperes and $R=(6+7 i)$ ohms.
$E=\square$ volts

Answer

\(\boxed{E = 82+39i}\) volts is the voltage of the circuit.

Steps

Step 1 :Given the current, I = (9-4i) amperes and the resistance, R = (6+7i) ohms in the circuit.

Step 2 :According to Ohm's law, the voltage, E in the circuit is given by the formula E = IR.

Step 3 :Substitute the given values of I and R into the formula.

Step 4 :Calculate E = (9-4i) * (6+7i) = (82+39i) volts.

Step 5 :\(\boxed{E = 82+39i}\) volts is the voltage of the circuit.
