Question

Convert the given complex number in polar form: i

Open in App
Solution

The given complex number is i.

Let rcosθ=0(1)

and rsinθ=1(2)

Square and add equation (1) and equation (2).

( rcosθ ) 2 + ( rsinθ ) 2 = ( 0 ) 2 + ( 1 ) 2 r 2 ( cos 2 θ+ sin 2 θ )=0+1 r 2 =1 r=±1

Since the modulus is always positive, therefore take positive value of r.

The value of modulus of complex variable is 1.

Substitute 1 for r in equation (1).

1×cosθ=0 cosθ=0

Substitute 1 for r in equation (2).

1×sinθ=1 sinθ=1

As, cosθ is zero and sinθis positive. Therefore, the value of θ is π 2 .

The conversion of the complex number in polar form is,

z=r( cosθ+isinθ )

Substitute the values of z, r and θ in the above formula.

i=[ cos( π 2 )+isin( π 2 ) ]

Thus, the complex number i in the polar form is [ cos( π 2 )+isin( π 2 ) ].
