Complex Numbers
A complex number may be written in RECTANGULAR FORM as:
RECTANGULAR FORM
z = x+ jy j= -1, x=Re z , y=Im(z)
A second way of representing the complex number is by specifying the
MAGNITUDE as r and the ANGLE θ in POLAR form.
POLAR FORM
z = x+ jy= z =r
The third way of representing the complex number is the EXPONENTIAL form.
EXPONENTIAL FORM • x is the REAL part.
z = x+ jy= z =re j • y is the IMAGINARY part.
• r is the MAGNITUDE.
• φ is the ANGLE.

Phasors - 1
A phasor is a complex number that represents the amplitude
and phase of a sinusoid.
Phasor is the mathematical equivalent of a sinusoid with time
variable dropped.
Phasor representation is based on Euler’s identity.
v(t ) Vm cos(t ) V Vm
(Time Domain Re pr.) (Phasor Domain Re presentation)
v(t ) Re{Ve jt } (Converting Phasor back to time)
Phasors - 3
Given the sinusoids i(t)=Imcos(ωt+φI) and v(t)=Vmcos(ωt+ φV),
we can obtain the phasor forms as:
Phasors - 4
Amplitude and phase difference are two principal concerns in the study of
voltage and current sinusoids.
Phasor will be defined from the cosine function in all our proceeding study. If
a voltage or current expression is in the form of a sine, it will be changed to
a cosine by subtracting from the phase.
Example
- Transform the following sinusoids to phasors:
i(t) = 6cos(50t – 40o) A
v(t) = –4sin(30t + 50o) V
- Transform the following phasors to sinusoids:
V 1030 V
I j(5 j12) A
