Hello, everyone what is wrong with my code??
I = 2.8438-0.883j;
V = 7955;
Em = 7967;
for a= 0:0.01:2
for b= 0:0.01:2
E = V + (a+b*i)*I;
if (abs(E) - Em) == 0
am = a;
bm = b;
end
end
end
thank you in advance

The only thing wrong with your code that I can see is that you haven't explained what it is you are trying to do, and why you think it isn't working.

It is a bit unusual to use "j" as the complex constant in the definition of "I", but then to use "i" as the complex constant in the definition of "E".
Your code does not initialize "am" or "bm", so if the "if" condition never holds true, those variables will not be initialized.
It is improbable that abs(E) - Em will ever work out as exactly 0. Please read http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_0.3_-_0.2_-_0.1_.28or_similar.29_not_equal_to_zero.3F

Please read that FAQ and follow the suggestions there to use a tolerance.
It seems to me that for any given "a" value, you should be able to compute the "b" needed.
solve(V + ab * I = 7967, ab)
and then a would be real(ab) and b would be imag(ab)
The solution is a = 3.848656051 and b = 1.195007839 -- which is outside the "a" range of your "for" loop, so your loop would not have found the answer even if you had used a tolerance.
