Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What does the term 'phasor' represent in AC analysis?
  • Step 1: Understand that AC analysis deals with alternating current, which varies over time in a sinusoidal manner.
  • Step 2: Recognize that a sinusoidal function can be described by its magnitude (how strong it is) and phase (where it starts in its cycle).
  • Step 3: Learn that a phasor is a way to represent this sinusoidal function using a complex number.
  • Step 4: Know that the complex number has two parts: one for the magnitude and one for the phase.
  • Step 5: Realize that using phasors makes it easier to analyze and calculate AC circuits.
