s π axes of phase –b and phase -c

The phase-a winding is excited by an ac current as ia(t)=Ipk cosωt
What should be the phase-b and phase-c winding currents in order to produce positive (+θ
direction) rotating total mmf wave? Show the process how this mmf wave is obtained.
ia(t)=Ipk cosωt , ib(t)=Ipk cos(ωt-120˚) Balanced positive-sequence three phase currents
ic(t)=Ipk cos(ωt+120˚)
Total mmf = F = Fa + Fb + Fc

Fa = ia(t)Na(θ) = cos(θ-ωt) + cos(θ+ωt) , where Fmax =
