Take notice with the following parameters regarding AC: I(R) = magnitude of the current through R. IM(R) = magnitude of the current through R. IR(R) = real component of the current through R. II(R) = imaginary component of the current through R. IP(R) = phase angle in degrees of the current through R. V(2) = magnitude of the voltage (between node 2 and 0 respectively) VM(2) = magnitude of the voltage. VR(2) = real component of the voltage. VI(2) = imaginary component of the voltage. VP(2) = phase angle in degrees of the voltage.
