A phasor voltage is a representation of an alternating current (AC) voltage in a complex number form. It takes into account both the magnitude and phase angle of the voltage.
Regular voltage is a scalar quantity that only represents the magnitude of an AC voltage. Phasor voltage, on the other hand, is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and phase angle information.
The phase angle in phasor voltage represents the time shift between the voltage and current waveforms in an AC circuit. It is important in determining the power factor and overall performance of the circuit.
The RMS (Root Mean Square) value of a voltage is the equivalent DC voltage that would produce the same amount of power as the AC voltage in a circuit. It takes into account both the magnitude and frequency of the voltage.
The RMS value of a voltage can be calculated by taking the square root of the average of the squared values of the voltage over one cycle. This is also known as the "effective" value of the voltage.
