Mod Amplitude Form (or) Polar Form

Mod Amplitude Form (or) Polar Form

Mod Amplitude Form (or) Polar Form: Let z = a+ ib be a complex number such that |z| = r and θ be the amplitude of z. then cosθ = a/ r, sinθ = b/ r.

Now z = a + ib = r cosθ + i r sinθ

= r (cosθ + isinθ)

This know as mod (Modulus) amplitude form or polar form of z

Key point:

Cosθ + I sinθ is simply denoted by cisθ

Cosθ + isinθ = e is known as Euler’s formula

r₁ cisθ₁ = r₂ cisθ₂ ⇔ r₁ = r₂, θ₁ = 2kπ + θ₂, k ϵ Z

If z₁ = r₁ cisθ₁, z₂ = cisθ₂ then

⇝ z₁z₂ = cis (θ₁ + θ₂)

⇝ z₁/z₂ = r₁/r₂ cis (θ₁ – θ₂)

Example: \({{(\sqrt{3}+i)}^{100}}={{2}^{99}}(a+ib)\), show that a² + b² = 4.

Solution: Given that \({{(\sqrt{3}+i)}^{100}}={{2}^{99}}(a+ib)\),

\(|{{(\sqrt{3}+i)}^{100}}|=|{{2}^{99}}(a+ib)|\),

\({{2}^{100}}={{2}^{99}}\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\),

\(\frac{{{2}^{100}}}{{{2}^{99}}}=\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\),

\(2=\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\),

 Squaring on both sides

a² + b² = 4.
