Operations, such as addition and division, can be done with i.Treat i like any other variable, except at the end make sure i is at most to the first power.
Use the following substitutions:

Higher order i's can be simplified down to a power of 1 to 4, which can be simplified into i, -1, -i, or 1.
i i2 i3 i4
i5 =i4 i i6 = i4 i2 i7 = i4 i3 i8 = i4 i4
i9 = i4 i4 i i10 = i4 i4 i2 i11 = i4 i4 i3 i12 = i4 i4 i4
i13 = i4 i4 i4 i i14 = i4 i4 i4 i2 i15 = i4 i4 i4 i3 i16 = i4 i4 i4 i4
... ... ... ...
i raised to a power can be rewritten as a product of i4 's and an i to the 1st to the 4th.
Since each i4 = 1, we need only be concerned with the non-power of 4.
Complex Numbers
Slide 13 / 106
To simplify an i without writing out the table say i87, divide by 4.
The number of times 4 goes in evenly gives you that many i4 's.The remainder is the reduced power. Simplify.

What pushes current through the circuit?
Batteries (just one source)A battery acts like a pump, pushing charge through the circuit. It is the circuit's energy source.
Charges do not experience an electrical force unless there is a difference in electrical potential (voltage).
Therefore, batteries have a potential difference between their terminals. The positive terminal is at a higher voltage than the negative terminal.
Complex Numbers
Slide 29 / 106
ConductorsSome conductors "conduct" better or worse than others.
Reminder: conducting means a material allows for the free flow of electrons.
The flow of electrons is just another name for current.
Another way to look at it is that some conductors resist current to a greater or lesser extent.
We call this resistance, R.
Resistance is measured in ohms which is noted by the Greek symbol omega (Ω)
How will resistance affect current?
Complex Numbers
Slide 30 / 106
http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/battery-voltage/battery-voltage.jnlp
Raising resistance reduces current.
Raising voltage increases current.
We can combine these relationships in what we call "Ohm's Law".
I = V/R R=Volts / current (I)
Units: You can see that one # = Volts/Amps
Current vs Resistance & Voltage
Complex Numbers
Slide 31 / 106
Ohm's Law
V is for voltage , measured in volts , and is potentia l of a circuit.
Z is for impedance , measured in ohms ( ), which is the oppos ition to the flow of current.
The tota l impedance of a circuit is a complex number.
I is for current, measured in amps , the ra te of flow of a circuit.
Complex Numbers
Slide 32 / 106
Application: Suppose two AC currents are connected in a series. One with -4 + 3i ohms and the other with 7 - 2i ohms. What is the total impedance of the circuit?
If the voltage across the two circuits is 12 volts, what is the current?
