Why is the instantaneous magnitude of current and voltage in a phasor diagram given by the vertical components of the phasor vectors?
In general, if a phasor is rotating, the instantaneous voltage is given by
\$i_m\sin(\omega t)\$
where \$i_m\$ is the amplitude of the current.
Similarly, voltage is given by \$v_m\sin(\omega t)\$ ...
