Phasor Representation: Vrms/Irms or Vmax/Imax?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies that when representing phasors for AC voltages and currents, it is acceptable to use either Vrms/Irms or Vmax/Imax, provided that one does not mix the two types. The key takeaway is that consistency in the representation is crucial for accurate analysis. Participants confirmed that both representations yield valid results in phasor analysis.

Guys,
Quick one, When you do phasors for AC voltages and current... is it theVrms and Irms or can it be Vmax and Imax..? I mean the magnitude of them...I am bit confused

thanks guys, got the answer it does not matter of which one you take the phasor of as long as you don't mix them up...
