sinusoidal current or voltage at a given frequency is characterized by only two parameters an amplitude and a phase angle. The complex representation of the voltage or current is also characterized by these same two parameters
The effective value of any periodic current is equal to the value of the direct current which flowing through a resistance R, delivers the same power to r as periodic current does
We define the unit-step forcing function as a function which is zero for all values of argument which are less than zero and which is unity(1) for all positive values of its argument
