The processes of addition and subtraction of rms. ‘values are performed asifth ins were coplanar vector forces in mechanics. Physically, however, the lines are not vectors: they Substitute for salar quantities, alternating sinusoidally with time. They are termed phasors. Certain associated quantities, such as impedance, admittance and apparent power, can also be represented by directed lines, but as they are not sinusoids they are texmed complexors or complex operators. Both phasors and complexors can be dealt with by application of the theory of ‘omplex numbers. The definitions concemed are Complexor A gener term fora non-vector quantity expressed ‘2-4 complex number Phasor.
