Find the modulus of each of the following complex numbers and hence express each of them in polar form: 2i
Let Z = 2i = r(cosθ + isinθ)
Now , separating real and complex part , we get
0 = rcosθ ……….eq.1
2 = rsinθ …………eq.2
Squaring and adding eq.1 and eq.2, we get
4 = r2
Since r is always a positive no., therefore,
r = 2,
hence its modulus is 2.
now, dividing eq.2 by eq.1, we get,
Tanθ = ∞
Since cosθ = 0, sinθ = 1 and tanθ = ∞. Therefore the θ lies in first quadrant.
tanθ = ∞, therefore
Representing the complex no. in its polar form will be
