Phasors - Introduction

Phasors

Introduction

Objective:
	To introduce the concept of phasors for solving steady-state AC circuits.
Steps:
	Examine time-domain relationships between voltage and current for passive elements.
	For the resistor, voltage and current are in phase.
	In an inductor, the voltage leads the current,
	but in a capacitor the current leads the voltage.
	These results are summarised here.
	The acronym CIVIL will help you remember this.
	View a simple example.
