To convert from rectangular to polar notation, find the polar magnitude through<br />

the use of the Pythagorean Theorem (the polar magnitude is the hypotenuse of a right triangle,<br />

and the real and imaginary components are the adjacent and opposite sides, respectively), and<br />

the angle by taking the arctangent of the imaginary component divided by the real component:<br />

Z = 4+j3 Magnitude vector in terms of real (4) and imaginary (j3) components.<br />
