why we need complex no. in physical world?..

Answer / bob

'Complex' numbers is a misnomer. It is not that the numbers
are complex, but that they represent mathematics in a
certain way. One way that is useful is to represent physical
phenomena in a way that simplifies the mathematics. In
electrical engineering, for example, you can use complex
numbers to represent circuit behavior. Without complex
numbers, you can be stuck with very difficult differential
equations. This is very common in mathematics:

difficult physical equation-->transform into simpler
domain(in this case the complex domain)-->solve
equations-->transform back into physical solution. It is
essentially a way to simplify the math.

I just want to convert the voltage into current i.e. suppose I have 750V & 1A AC power then I want to convert it into 12V & 62A DC power only difficulty is that I don't want to use the tranceformer. Simply to say, I want to make the step-down without using tranceformer. Please, give me some ideas. And also I want the relation between Magnetic Induction & Weight of the body can be levitated. Or I can say, how much of magnetic induction requires to lift 500gms weight? I am heartily thankful to you.
