An arrow that goes up and down sinusoidally is just the y component of a vector that rotates at a constant angular frequency.
The length of the arrow is and the angle of the vector is

98. Phasors
A phasor is a vector that represents a sinusoidal function. Its magnitude is the amplitude of the sine wave (it’s maximum value) and its angle is the phase angle (the argument of the sine function).

Note these correspond to the length of the phasors.
All we need for this is Ohm’s Law:

103. Resistors and Phasors
Now we can make a voltage phasor and a current phasor for the resistor.

We define this to be the “inductive reactance” and give it a symbol

107. Inductive Reactance
This makes sense, because an inductor offers more opposition to the current if the frequencey is large and if the inductance is large.

We define this to be the “capacitive reactance” and give it a symbol

112. Capacitive Reactance
This makes sense because a capacitor offers more resistance to current flow if it builds up a big charge. If the frequency is large or the capacitance is large, it is hard to build up much charge.

113. Capacitors and Phasors
We again want a voltage phasor and a current phasor.
