Record 4 2010-07-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Physics
DEF

A representation of a sine wave whose amplitude (A), phase (θ), and frequency (ω) are time-invariant.

OBS

Phasors reduce the dependencies on these parameters to three independent factors, thereby simplifying certain kinds of calculations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique
DEF

Représentation d'une onde sinusoïdale dans laquelle l'amplitude (A), la phase (θ) et la fréquence (ω) ne dépendent pas du temps.

OBS

Les phaseurs permettent de réduire la dépendance de ces trois paramètres à trois facteurs indépendants, ce qui simplifie certains calculs.
