Two oscillators, one with amplitude A1 and phase φ1 and another with amplitude A2 and phase φ2, are represented by phasors. Derive the resultant amplitude and phase of these oscillators.
💡 Hint: Consider visualizing the phasors as vectors and using the triangle rule for addition.
Given a phasor with an angular velocity of ω that is offset by a phase angle of π/3, compute its projection on the real axis after time t.
💡 Hint: Remember to compute the value of cosine at the specific angle to find the projection.
