This is a really interesting topic to me. I've been thinking a lot about where I'd like my career to go, and I really think I'd like to take on a management or leadership role in the future.
I would tend to agree with the general consensus that being an engineer doesn't necessarily make you...
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!

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...
