Vectors And Components



A vector quantity has magnitude and direction It must have a direction which can actually or ar­bitrarily be represented by the direction of a line on paper. The length of the line represents the magnitude of the quantity in arbitrary units. For example, electrical quantities are assigned established customary directions in vector notation.
This definition and subsequent examples of how vectors can be added geometrically will help explain the principles of synchro operations, which come later. Magnetic fields do have actual physical magni­tude and direction and can be represented vectorially. With the aid of vector symbols and the concept of magnetic fields which they represent, we can visualize what happens to Electrical signals as they progress through any type of synchro circuit.
