Why do we take a conjugate of current when we write the formula of complex power S=VI*?
Can you explain to me why we take a conjugate of current when we write the formula of complex power S=VI*?
Yes, of course. We take the conjugate of current in the formula of complex power because it represents the part of current that is out of phase with the voltage. By taking the conjugate, we can separate the real power component from the reactive power component.
