Verifying that $sqrt{(R+jomega L)(jomega C)}=0.5frac{R}{sqrt{L/C}}+jomegasqrt{LC}$ for $Rlll omega L$












1












$begingroup$


So I have the following square root of this two complex numbers and my book provides this:



$$sqrt{(R+jomega L)(jomega C)}=0.5frac{R}{sqrt{frac{L}{C}}}+jomegasqrt{LC}$$



if $$Rlllomega L$$



I have no freaking idea how they do this mathematically. I tried to apply distributive property, which leads to



$$sqrt{jRomega C-omega^2LC}$$



And the second term of my expansion kind of looks like the second term of the expression
$$sqrt{-omega^2LC}=jomegasqrt{LC}$$



But I don't if (a) this is correct and (b) how do I get the first term.



Thanks in advance.

          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
          $$sqrt{(R+jomega L)(jomega C)}=sqrt{Rjomega C-omega^2LC}\
          =jomegasqrt{LC}sqrt {Rfrac 1{jomega L}+1}\
          approx jomega sqrt{LC}left(1+frac {R}{2jomega L}right)\
          =jomega sqrt{LC}+frac R2sqrt{frac {C}{L}}$$

          They owe you an approximation sign when they do the Taylor series step.
