In an AC circuit, the voltage E, current I, and impedance Z are related by the
\ \Formula E = I · Z.
\Find the voltage in a circuit with current 2 + 5i amps and Impedance is 4 – i ohms.
E = I · Z
\Substitute I and Z values
\The FOIL method can be used to multiply the complex numbers.
\Foil method: the product of two binomials is the sum of the products of the First terms,
\the Outer terms, the Inner terms and the Last terms.
\The word FOIL is an acronym for the four terms of the product.
