Question

If the phasors are drawn to represent the maximum values instead of the rms values, what would happen to the phase angle between quantities?

(a) Increases

(b) Decreases

(c) Remains constant

(d) Becomes zero

I had been asked this question in a national level competition.

Asked question is from Phasor Diagrams Drawn with RMS Values Instead of Maximum Values topic in portion Alternating Voltage and Current of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Remains constant

Explanation: When phasors are drawn representing the maximum values instead of the rms value, the shape of the diagram remains unaltered and hence the phase angle remains the same.
