Complex power and impedance calculator

AC magnetic problems utilize complex numbers arithmetic to represent values sinusoidally varying in time. This calculator facilitates complex numbers (phasors) arithmetic operations: impedance and power calculation.

Real (Re) Imaginary (Im) Magnitude Phase
Voltage magnitude V [V] i * V °
Current magnitude I [A] i * A °
Impedance Z = V / I [Ohm] i * Ohm °
Power S = ½ * (V * I*)
W i * VAr V*A

If you see negative power value this indicates that power is generated (source).
