$\sqrt{4 i}$
Let, $(a+i b)^{2}=0+4 i$
Now using, $(a+b)^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}+2 a b$
$\Rightarrow a^{2}+(b i)^{2}+2 a b i=0+4 i$
Since $i^{2}=-1$
$\Rightarrow a^{2}-b^{2}+2 a b i=0+4 i$
Now, separating real and complex parts, we get
$\Rightarrow a^{2}-b^{2}=0$ …………..eq.1
$\Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{ab}=4$ …….. eq.2
$\Rightarrow a=\frac{2}{b}$
Now, using the value of a in eq.1, we get
$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{2}{b}\right)^{2}-\mathrm{b}^{2}=0$
$\Rightarrow 4-\mathrm{b}^{4}=0$
$\Rightarrow b^{4}=4$
Simplify and get the value of $b^{2}$, we get,
$\Rightarrow b^{2}=-2$ or $b^{2}=2$
As $b$ is real no. so, $b^{2}=2$
$\mathrm{b}=\sqrt{2}$ or $\mathrm{b}=-\sqrt{2}$
Therefore, $a=\sqrt{2}$ or $a=-\sqrt{2}$
Hence the square root of the complex no. is $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}_{i}$ and $-\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2}_{i}$.
