How can I mathematically show that multiplication of j will cause a phase shift?

I think that confusion could be related with the two possible methods for representing sinusoidal time varying signals associated with the complex plane: 1. AS COMPLEX NUMBERS This form is close ...

How can I mathematically show that multiplication of j will cause a phase shift?

This is where complex numbers in polar form shine. Let \$r\angle\theta\$ represent the number \$ r e^{j \theta} = r (\sin \theta + j \cos \theta)\$. Then \$\left(a \angle \alpha\right) \cdot \left(b \...

How can I mathematically show that multiplication of j will cause a phase shift?

e^(jθ) = cos(θ) + j sin(θ) I get -jAsin(wt) = Acos(wt)-Ae^(jw*t) You might be better off going to $$ \sin\theta = \frac{e^{j\theta}-e^{-j\theta}}{2j}$$ However this is not going to get you to \$j\...
