- Any steady state voltage or current in a linear circuit with a sinusoidal source is a sinusoid with the same frequency as the source. Phasors and complex impedances allow conversion of differential equations to circuit analysis by representing magnitude and phase of sinusoids.
- For a resistor, the voltage and current are in phase. In the phasor domain, the resistor phasor relationship is V=IR. In the time domain, the average power dissipated is proportional to the product of RMS current and voltage.
