Why do electrical engineers write j instead of i?
Aj makes the math simpler
Bj is the standard symbol for voltage
Ci is reserved for frequency
Di usually denotes electric current
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. i usually denotes electric current
The letter i is already used for current, so j denotes the imaginary unit to avoid confusion.
