Enter the real and imaginary numbers of a rectangular form into the phasor calculator. The calculator will return the phasor value of that equation. This calculator can also determine the y or x values given the phasor angle and the other variable.

## Phasor Formula

The following formula is used to convert a rectangular form to a phasor form.

P = arctan (y/x)
• Where P is the phasor angle
• y is the imaginary part of the rectangular form x + jy
• x is the real part of the rectangular form

To calculate a phasor angle, take the inverse tangent of the result of the y value divided by the x value of the rectangular form equation.

## Phasor Definition

A phasor is defined as the relative angle of a multiple-part solution that contains both a real and imaginary portion.

## How to calculate phasor angle?

How to calculate a phasor angle

1. First, determine the rectangular form

This will be an equation of the form x + jy, where x is the real part and y is the imaginary part.

2. Next, separate x and y from the equation in step 1

Take out the real and imaginary portions.

3. Calculate the phasor

Enter the x and y components into the formula above.
