43210. Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis
Two phasors, V1 and V2, are equal to each other if and only if one of the following two conditions
is satisfied:
1. Both Re{V1}= Re{V2} and Im{V1}= Im{V2}.
2. Both |V1|=|V2| and ffV114 ffV2.
(Conditions 1 and 2 are not independent. If V1= V2, then both conditions are satisfied. If either
condition is satisfied, then V1= V2 and the other condition is also satisfied.)
The use of phasors to represent sinusoids is based on Eulers formula. Eulers formula is
e j f 14 cos f j sin f 10:3-12
Consequently,
Ae j f 14 A cos f jA sin f
Using Eqs. 10.3-4 and 10.3-5, we have
A cos f jA sin f 14 Afff
Consequently, Ae j f 14 Afff 10:3-13
Ae jf is called the exponential form of a phasor. The conversion between the polar and exponential
forms is immediate. In both, A is the amplitude of the sinusoid and f is the phase angle of the sinusoid.
Next, consider
Ae j o ty 14 A cos ot y j A sin ot y 10:3-14
Taking the real part of both sides of Eq.10.3-14 gives
Acos14 ot y Re Ae j oty n o 14 Re Ae jy e j ot 10:3-15
Consider a sinusoid and corresponding phasor
v t14 A cos ot y V and V14 o Affy 14 Ae j y V 10:3-16
Substituting Eq.10.3-16 into Eq.10.3-15 gives
v t14 Re V o e j o t 10:3-17
Next, consider a KVL or KCL equation from an ac circuit, for example,
