What does “Argand plane” actually mean in Complex Numbers, and why does it matter for JEE?

a complex number a+bi is a point (a, b), turning algebra into geometry.

In simple words: a complex number a+bi is a point (a, b), turning algebra into geometry. Getting Argand plane clear matters because JEE questions on Complex Numbers usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.

Key point

Argand plane

Common mistake

plotting the imaginary part on the x-axis.

Memory tip

real part → x-axis, imaginary part → y-axis.
