The resulting potential difference is approximately 99 volts at an angle of –11.7 degrees.

Solución

We are given two phasors in the form “r cis θ”, where cis θ means cos θ + i sin θ. The two phasors are:
50 cis (–330°)  and  70 cis (–40°)
To add these, it is easiest to convert them to rectangular form, add the real and imaginary parts separately, and then convert the result back to polar form.
Step 1. Convert each phasor to rectangular form.
For the first phasor, 50 cis (–330°):
Real part = 50 cos(–330°)
  Imaginary part = 50 sin(–330°)
Note that cos(–330°) = cos(330°) and sin(–330°) = –sin(330°). Also, 330° = 360° – 30°, so cos330° = cos30° ≈ 0.8660 and sin330° = –sin30° = –0.5. Thus:
Real part ≈ 50 × 0.8660 = 43.30
  Imaginary part ≈ 50 × (–(–0.5)) = 50 × 0.5 = 25.00
So, 50 cis(–330°) ≈ 43.30 + j 25.00.
For the second phasor, 70 cis (–40°):
Real part = 70 cos(–40°) = 70 cos(40°)
  Imaginary part = 70 sin(–40°) = –70 sin(40°)
Using cos 40° ≈ 0.7660 and sin 40° ≈ 0.6428:
Real part ≈ 70 × 0.7660 = 53.62
  Imaginary part ≈ –70 × 0.6428 = –45.00
Thus, 70 cis(–40°) ≈ 53.62 – j 45.00.
Step 2. Add the rectangular forms.
Add the real parts:
  Total real = 43.30 + 53.62 ≈ 96.92
Add the imaginary parts:
  Total imaginary = 25.00 + (–45.00) = –20.00
So the sum in rectangular form is:
  96.92 – j 20.00
Step 3. Convert the sum back to polar form.
Magnitude ®:
  r = √(96.92² + (–20.00)²)
    = √(9393.2 + 400)
    = √(9793.2)
    ≈ 98.96
Angle (θ):
  θ = arctan(imaginary/real) = arctan(–20.00/96.92)
    ≈ arctan(–0.2063)
    ≈ –11.7°
Thus, the resulting potential difference is approximately:
  98.96 cis (–11.7°)
You can round this as needed (about 99 V ∠ –11.7°).

Beyond the Answer

To find the resulting potential difference, we can add the two given complex numbers that represent electrical potential differences. The first number is , which simplifies to . The second number is , giving us .
Now, we add them together:
Real part:
Imaginary part:
Calculating these, we find the real part is approximately , and the imaginary part is .
Therefore, the resulting potential difference in rectangular form is approximately .
To convert back to polar form, we find the magnitude:
And the angle (using tan inverse):
Thus, the resulting potential difference is approximately V.
