I don't know about other calculator models, but if you have a TI-83 or TI-84 calculator, your AC calculations can be done much easier if you use the complex rectangular display or the complex polar display mode. The link here at tc3 tells you all about it. It can seem a little difficult at first but once you get the hang of it your calculations become much easier. If you have any questions about how to us complex numbers in your electronics calculations, please leave me a reply or send me a message. I will be glad to help you.
