ABSTRACT
Complex numbers are widely used in the analysis of series, parallel and series-parallel electrical networks supplied by alternating voltages (see Chapters 24 to 26), in deriving balance equations with a.c. bridges (see Chapter 27), in analysing a.c. circuits using Kirchhoff’s laws (Chapter 30), mesh and nodal analysis (Chapter 31), the superposition theorem (Chapter 32), with The´venin’s and Norton’s theorems (Chapter 33) and with delta-star and star-delta transforms (Chapter 34) and in many other aspects of higher electrical engineering. The advantage of the use of complex numbers is that the manipulative processes become simply algebraic processes.
