Sinusoids and Phasors
Representation
Sinusoidal source Representation
• A sinusoidal current is usually referred to as alternating current (AC).
• Circuits driven by sinusoidal current or voltage sources are called AC
circuits.
• AC and voltages can be expressed as sinusoids or phasors.
• Sinusoids deals with representation of AC in form of equation
involving magnitude, argument and time.
• Phasors deal AC representation in complex form ie., Rectangular,
Polar or Exponential form.
Sinusoids
Sinusoidal voltage is represented as 𝑣 𝑡 = 𝑉𝑚 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜔𝑡
The reciprocal of this quantity T is the number of cycles per second, known as the cyclic frequency f in
Hertz (Hz)of the sinusoid. 1 𝜔

Argument of Sinusoids
More general form of representation of sinusoids is arguments with Phase
𝑣 𝑡 = 𝑉𝑚 sin(𝜔𝑡 + 𝜑)
Phase φ can be in degree or radian
It is used to compare two sinusoids for their angular variations
Comparing 𝑣1 𝑡 = 𝑉𝑚 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜔𝑡
and
𝑣2 𝑡 = 𝑉𝑚 sin(𝜔𝑡 + 𝜑)
v1 and v2 are said to be out of phase.
v2 leads v1 by φ or v1 lags v2 by φ
Note: frequency should be same for comparison
Sine and Cosine functions
• A sinusoid can be expressed in either sine or cosine form
• When comparing two sinusoids, it is expedient to express both as either
sine or cosine with positive amplitudes
• Following identities can be used for conversion
-sin ɷt
-sin ɷt
-cos ɷt
-cos ɷt
Solution:
Phase φ = - 60 ͦ
2. Calculate the phase angle between v1 = −10 cos(ωt + 50◦) and v2 =12 sin(ωt − 10◦). State
which sinusoid is leading.
Answer: v2 leads v1 by 30◦.
Phasors
• Sinusoids are easily expressed in terms of phasors (Frequency Domain), which are more
convenient to work with than sine and cosine functions.
• A phasor is a complex number that represents the amplitude and phase of a sinusoid.
• The idea of phasor representation is based on Euler’s identity of complex numbers.
