POINTS TO BE NOTED :
• The operator occurs with the phasor only when it is along Y-axis (see the fig.)
Thus when the phasor is along OY-axis, it is V and when along OY′-axis, it is -
V. The phasor lying along X-axis is not associated with .
• Since and its value cannot be determined, it is called an imaginary number. For
this reason, any phasor (or its component) associated with is called the
imaginary part. A phasor (or its component) along X-axis is not associated with
j and is called the real part.

SIGNIFICANCE of
1. The quantity a + b is called a complex number or complex
quantity. It is because it consists of a real component (a) and
an imaginary component (b). NOTE
: bold-faced letters (e.g. V, I etc.)
will be used to represent the phasor
2. To call the component lying along Y-axis (i.e. the completely, including both magnitude and
component associated with or ) as imaginary merely because direction. However, only the magnitude of
the phasor will be represented by the same

represented on the X-axis. Electrical engineers rightly call e.g. V may be written as or
the horizontal and vertical components as in-phase and
quadrature components, respectively.
