I’m researching the following question: why is there a different notation being used for apparent current with complex conjugate in industry and university:

Industry notation: S=U*I
University notation: S=UI*

The * represents the complex conjugate

I know the university uses this notation for didactic purposes, but I can’t figure out:


  • If there’s an actual difference?
  • If so, what is?
  • Why would they use a different notation at university?

It seems to me that the notation used at the university is somewhat easier than the industry standard.
