Abstract
This animation shows two phasors rotating in time in the complex plane. One phasor is a representation of an oscillation, and the other one is that oscillation multiplied by a complex constant. The animation also shows bar graphs of the two constants and also graphs them versus time. All three are shown to progressed together in time. This animation is directed towards students understanding of the dynamic nature of the complex phasors presented in text books.
