Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert from polar to rectangular form?

Using a = r * cos(phi) and b = r * sin(phi), the same trigonometric relationship used to convert 2D polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates.

Is this the same math as converting 2D polar coordinates?

Yes, a complex number's polar form (magnitude and phase) is mathematically identical to a point's polar coordinates (r and theta), just interpreted as a number instead of a location.

How is this different from the polar form calculator?

This calculator performs the opposite conversion: starting from magnitude and phase and finding the real and imaginary parts. The polar form calculator instead starts from the real and imaginary parts and finds the magnitude and phase.
