This is a 13 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topics of Vectors and Phasors. It covers an introduction to vectors, resolving vectors into components (using trigonometry), finding the sum of vectors in 2 dimensions (using trigonometry and Pythagoras’ theorem), introduction to phasors and the sinusoidal formula including phase-difference.
A knowledge of trigonometry (see previous lessons in this series) is needed.
