When all instantaneous quantities in an equation are written in terms of phasors such as in (A.54), then
is dropped from all terms of the equation and subsequently the factor
, that is common to all terms of the equation and is never zero, is dropped from all terms, a phasor equation is obtained in which all terms are complex and dependent on position, but independent of time.
It is important to understand what differentiation and integration with respect to time become in the phasor domain. The partial derivative with respect to time of the electric field
of (A.51) or (A.56) yields:
 |
(2.58) |
hence the phasor of
is
times the phasor of
. Time differentiation becomes multiplication by
in phasor domain:
 |
(2.59) |
Similarly, it is easily seen that integration with respect to time becomes multiplication by
in phasor domain:
 |
(2.60) |
We conclude that the phasor of the time derivative of a time-domain quantity is
times the phasor of that quantity, and that the phasor of the indefinite integral with respect to time of a time-domain quantity is
times the phasor of that quantity.
