A phasor is a replacement of cos(omega * t + phi) with cos(omega * t +

but not generally written in phasor analysis, but is nonetheless an
essential part of the definition of a phasor. This shows that a phasor
is a vector which rotates in the complex plane, with a rotational speed
of omega * t radians/sec. The reason the time-dependent rotational term


Should that be ...of omega radians/sec..., omega*t is the phase
displacement, omega is the phase velocity?


You're right. Thank you for the correction. My apology for the error.
