Yeah I get that, but what's the application to electromagnetism? I'm an electrician, it's been a few years since I had to think about induction and capacitance calculations, but I do recall them being based mostly on trigonometry. Where does i come into play, I guess is what I'm asking.

Sorry I insta-deleted because I realized I wasn't answering the question but it looks like it still slipped through.

I wasn't answering the question because I don't know. I'm aware that imaginary numbers play a major role in circuit math, but I also need an expert to ELI5.
