  • 5.5 Phasors to represent AC Current

    Phasors are to AC circuit quantities as polarity is to DC circuit quantities: a way to express the “directions” of voltage and current waveforms. As such, it is difficult to analyze AC circuits in depth without using this form of mathematical expression. Phasors are based on the concept of complex numbers: combinations of “real” and “imaginary” quantities. The purpose…
