AC CIRCUITS ANALYSIS

Sinusoids
A sinusoid is a signal that has the form of the sine or cosine function.

Phasors
A phasor is a comple num!er that represents the amplitude and phase of a sinusoid.

Root &ean S'uare (R&S)

The R&S "alue of a set of "alues (or a continuous* time +a"eform) is the s'uare root of the arithmetic mean (a"erage) of the s'uares of the original "alues (or the s'uare of the function that defines the continuous +a"eform).

Impedance and Admittance

The impedance , of a circuit is the ratio of the phasor "oltage - to the phasor current I. measured in ohms. The admittance Y is the reciprocal of impedance. measured in siemens (S).
