  • We will use a cool method of describing the oscillation of current and voltage called phasors, which are fixed-length vectors that rotate at a constant frequency. It will be very fun. Yes, really.

    Disha - work problems. Find a friend who is about as strong as you are in class. Work problems from the chapters that gave you the most trouble, and check them with your friend. And then work more problems. If a concept gives you trouble, watch a video, but then work more problems. Good luck.

    I have just started my electronics engineering at one of the worlds so called "top " universities, and I have struggled so much in keeping up with the course as they expect you to just know everything and do not explain things properly. I stumbled across this video and you explained this topic in such a beautiful way that I can finally appreciate what a phaser is and what the rms is. you could put a top professor to shame that is how good you're teaching is. Please continue your amazing work. Just goes to show that these universities are just great by name but when it comes to actually teaching their horrible waste of time and money. Most importantly thank-you for making learning fun and not a tedious regurgitation of knowledge where we do not know what anything does but we just memorise.

    I agree with what you've said. My phasor for Vmax is pointing in some arbitrary direction, so it represents V at some arbitrary early time, as you've said!
    However, I call the phasor Vmax because that is its length AT ALL TIMES. If that makes sense, you are ready to rock phasors.

    Yes, India having been an English colony uses 50 cycle mains power. They also still use older English standard outlets. About the ONLY places that still use 60Hz are Canada, The USA & Mexico, (and a few Pacific islands). 50Hz is slightly less efficient going through a transformer, but not noticeably so. 25 Hz power required a beefier transformer, and some products had a 25Hz option for people living around the archaic power houses in upstate New York & Canada. That system was finally retired after NAFTA went into effect that those old factories back east closed down & relocated to Mexico. They clung to that 25 cycle power supply citing that retooling would cost too much. Moving to Mexico was not a problem, with the cheap labor, and 25Hz power went the way of the steam engine, the model A Ford, and telegrams.
