2 amps added in phase with 2 amps equals 4 amps flowing

You mean both directions. AC doesn't flow in just one direction. That
would be DC.

Instantaneous, Jim, instantaneous.

You say that as if you understood what it means. :-)

AC flows in one direction for 1/2 cycle
and flows in the opposite direction for the other 1/2 cycle.

Oh. I always thought it was the other way around. :-)

A 2 amp phasor
at zero degrees added to a 2 amp phasor at zero degrees equals 4 amps at
zero degrees, flowing in the same instantaneous direction as the instantaneous
phasor components. When the two component phasors are at 180 degrees, they
and their sum are flowing in the opposite direction.

So what?
