So I have the following square root of this two complex numbers and my book provides this:
√(R+jωL)(jωC)=0.5R√LC+jω√LC
if R⋘
I have no freaking idea how they do this mathematically. I tried to apply distributive property, which leads to
\sqrt{jR\omega C-\omega^2LC}
And the second term of my expansion kind of looks like the second term of the expression \sqrt{-\omega^2LC}=j\omega\sqrt{LC}
But I don't if (a) this is correct and (b) how do I get the first term.
Thanks in advance.
Answer
The basic idea is that \sqrt{1+x} \approx 1+\frac x2 when x \ll 1. The right side is the first two terms of the Taylor series. If you expand the left you have \sqrt{(R+j\omega L)(j\omega C)}=\sqrt{Rj\omega C-\omega^2LC}\\ =j\omega\sqrt{LC}\sqrt {R\frac 1{j\omega L}+1}\\ \approx j\omega \sqrt{LC}\left(1+\frac {R}{2j\omega L}\right)\\ =j\omega \sqrt{LC}+\frac R2\sqrt{\frac {C}{L}} They owe you an approximation sign when they do the Taylor series step.
