    Apparent Power and Complex Conjugate Confusion

    Hi electricpete, Awesome. This makes sense. Ultimately, apparent power has the same theta at the impedance (even if, as you mentioned, there's no ONE specific impedance element). Thanks a ton! Pat

    Apparent Power and Complex Conjugate Confusion

    Hey all, I'm trying to make sense of why apparent power is calculated using the complex conjugate of I, and not just regular I. The equations in my textbook go something like this... P = VI*cos(theta) Q = VI*sin(theta) ... where theta is the angle of the impedance element, and thus the...
