Popular WEA Problems

WEA #8 is due Monday, in in response to popular difficulties with certain problems, this post will serve to explain concepts or give examples so that you can solve the problem. It will not provide the direct answer to the problem, it will teach you how to solve it.

Finding the magnitude of a complex number seems to be a difficult questions for some, simply because there is doubt as to what exactly the problem is asking. The magnitude of a complex number is defined as the positive square-root of the complex number times its complex conjugate. There is an credible website here that explains how to find the magnitude step-by-step (take note, this website uses j as a denotation for an imaginary number, not i like we do).

Yang, feel free to add something on any other questions you think might be difficult, and if anyone has questions, commenting has been enabled for everyone, so leave a comment on this post with a question.
