A phasor can be expressed as a vector, with a magnitude and a phase (direction)

 

Phasor diagrams can be plotted on a Cartesian plane, where frequency  is equal and constant.

 

Phasor diagrams are also known as the frequency domain

 

• Angle/Phase is measured from the positive real axis, going counter-clockwise
• The leading phasor is the one ahead of the other phases in the counter-clockwise direction
