Q

Explain how a phasor is mapped from a sine wave

A

A full rotation of a phasor is a full cycle of the waveform

The length of the vector represents the peak magnitude

X axis = time , y axis = magnitude at time t

hence vertical component is the function

Q

How do you superimpose two waves in phasor notation

A

Construct a parallelogram using each vector as a side of the parallelogram

origin to the opposing corner length is the magnitude of the superimposed wave.

and that vector itself represents the superimposed wave
