Complex Conjugate and Modulus Calculator
Find the conjugate, modulus, and argument of a complex number z = a + bi, shown on the complex plane.
Input
Enter the real part a and imaginary part b to compute the conjugate, modulus, and argument of z = a + bi.
The real component of the complex number
The imaginary component (coefficient of i)
Result
Input complex number z = 3 + 4i
Conjugate z bar
3 - 4i
Modulus |z|
5
Argument (degrees)
53.13010235 deg
Argument (radians)
0.92729522 rad
Real part a
3
Imaginary part b
4
Modulus calculation
sqrt(3² + 4²) = 5
The argument is measured counterclockwise from the real axis, in the range minus 180 to 180 degrees. At the origin the argument is undefined.
How it works
- The conjugate of z = a + bi is a − bi, obtained by flipping the sign of the imaginary part.
- The modulus is |z| = sqrt(a squared plus b squared), the distance from the origin.
- The argument arg(z) is the angle from the real axis, found with atan2(b, a) to handle quadrants correctly, in the range minus 180 to 180 degrees.
- At the origin (a = 0, b = 0) the argument is undefined, so it is shown as undefined.
